Every fix in Linux seems like a hack that requires extensive terminal knowledge of small, random patches that seem to be strewn all over the internet.

Every fix in windows is usually self contained, and you just need to know where to look to access it.

In my teens, I would have loved the challenge to mess with Linux. But I have no desire to do that now.

I will get the itch from time to time to try a new liveUSB distro, and if Microsoft angers or annoys me enough, I might just stick with Linux.

yeah but at least we're not told to run sfc /scannow followed by "format your pc" when that inevitably fails to find anything

I can honestly say that I haven't had to reformat a windows PC since the early 2000s because of a problem that couldn't easily be solved.

Even a BSOD is exceedingly rare.

Stability has been excellent, but the threat of advertisement creep is beginning to annoy me.
