Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?
Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

In fairness it used to be a lot of trouble to set up and maintain a Linux desktop. That hasn't been true for years but the attitude didn't come from nowhere.
"Set up" I agree, "maintain" not so much. From the mid-2000s onwards Linux tended to be more stable and easier to update than Windows, as I recall.

I install it from a USB stick. It's not hard. Last time that took me less than 10 minutes. I'm not an IT person, never using the command line or any IT things.
Linux is not perfect, but very usable. The distro I use looks after itself. If anything does mess up, I can simply reinstall.

"I put Linux on my laptop and then the wireless didn't work and it took me 3 hours on the help forum . ."
