    Zac Bowden used to post a video for every single new insider build of Windows to cover any change he could, he’s bought the original Surface table from 2007, he’s been covering and championing all things Windows for at least a decade. To get someone like him off side, you really gotta be fucking the dog.

      Yep.

      I started using windows as a kid (Win 3.1). Was more or less happy to be a windows user through all of the various versions, although 95, XP and 7 were the most usable.

      For the first time in about 35 years, I’m genuinely unhappy with Windows and am looking at other options.

      They’ve really dropped the ball if users like me are unhappy.

          Look, I’ve used Cachy. It’s great, pretty polished, looks nice.

          But do not recommend an arch distro like that until you know person is more tech inclined.

          Because a lot of Windows users are not, and they’re not going to want to open the terminal.

          Cachy is best for those who like to more effortlessly tinker with their system, like messing around with Polkit so KDE doesn’t ask for a password every second.

          Don’t forget, it’s not about what we’ve always wanted from an OS, but what the other person might want from an OS. When unknown, pick the simpler solutions, like Bazzite, Debian, or Mint.

          That’s how I’ve gotten 8 people converted to Linux from Windows this year.
