It's really about convenience, and Windows is trying it's hardest to be inconvenient.

IMO the sweet spot is still both: linux for most desktop use, and an extremely lobotomized Windows 11 for certain graphical things that prefer it. And I think that needs to be made clear to more people too: it's not necessarily a choice between one or the other.

Lobotomized Windows? Have you got more information on that? I used to have dual boot ages ago, but my current lifestyle demands a laptop - that's non negotiable. Unfortunately Linux and some graphics/3d software on a laptop is near impossible for my level of tech savvy, (I tried) but if you can kindly point me in the right direction to remove annoying from windows I'd be very grateful.

There's a debloat script. I can't say it's good or bad because I don't use Windows for years, but I've seen plenty people using it and saying it's good.

Okay thank you I'll look into it and if I so run it I'll let you know how it goes
