That's why friends don't let friends run Microsoft software. In return for your money, you get to follow their orders, watch their ads, and generally compute in whatever way they want you to this quarter.

Windows is a control mechanism that, for now, runs third party code.

I mean yeah. I thought they got better with time. Apparently not.

My motto with “computer help” is “ok, let me install Linux on that, we’ll see what I can do”

Usually that works. ( people get scared and I’m off the hook)

But the older part of my family is running exclusively on Linux since a decade. Not much support needed.
