First time I agree with the Raven. Switch to Linux!!! Windows is just a shitshow, we all watch and can't believe they are doing this. Win 11 will bring us one of the biggest hardware-waste ever in a world where we should spare with resources.
But hey, throw that 4GB RAM machine in the trash bin everyone wants Win11. So glossy and shiny, so hot right now.
Do you know what makes windows great? It just works out of the box with broad driver and software compatibility. Extensive hardware support (Windows 10 runs on any brand new hardware as well as old hardware from 12 years ago). Many professional software applications, such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk products, and Microsoft Office, are primarily developed for Windows. If you rely on specific professional software, Windows offes better compatibility and support.
Linux offers better security and has a large repository of open source software as well as being very developer friendly. If you're reading this it's thanks to Linux. However switching to Linux isn't a viable option for everyone for the aforementioned points. It surprises me to this day how many smart and tech savvy individuals still can't grasp this concept.
Linux is not more secure really, it's just assumed to be so because it's less widely attacked for having less market share
Nah, you have a user, it cannot mess with another user, by design.
In windows you can do so many crappy things it's incredible, like rescue boot and just change the crowd strike executables with a notepad++ exe aaand you are "free!"
The security holes ae trash too, you can't deny that. Corporate PCs are plagued with "anti virus" and other scanning softs, sending your every keystroke to some authentication server so see if no malicious intent is detected.
If you want to do something efficient, Windows is no longer the way IMO.
