You call me insufferable, you are not people and I'm at the point where I don't give a shit what a Microsoft apologist thinks. I had to reinstall operating systems this weekend, Linux for me, windows for my son. Linux was a breezy 30 minutes, including downloading the iso, writing the USB, and installing it with an encrypted drive.
Windows was a breezy 7 hours of cursing, slamming my keyboard, loads of internet searches because 1) windows is an incompetent system and 2) Microsoft loves to sabotage their users. I wish I was kidding.
This is not a one off, this is typical for a windows installation, I've been having to do this for decades, it's always shit.
It's a retarded system and people have been scammed into buying shit and they love it because they don't even know how bad it is.
I would not really care much directly, to each their own. If you love to pay tripple for bad quality (hardware and software) Shiny toys then go ahead, buy Apple! If you love to roll around in shit then buy windows! The problem though is that inevitably, all windows users come to me with their windows crap show because inevitably it will break over stupid shit, not tell the user (or me) what's actually wrong, it's always some weirdo UUID or base64 registry string that nobody can know that needs to be changed. Fuuuuuuck that shit. I'm so tired of always having to deal with windows shit.
If windows shots on me, I will shit on windows every chance I get.
So yeah, install linux!
Ok.
