It’s been downhill since Windows 7. I think this will be my last Windows PC.

I just don’t feel safe with Windows that next time I boot up there won’t be some fresh horror I didn’t ask for and have to go research how to put back in the bottle.

It’s like having your computer pre-rooted with malware.

That's exactly what it is. Defender is removing PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), but only those unwanted by Microsoft, while Windows is installing unwanted programs left and right. Windows is legitimately acting like malware. Not even a joke.

Come join the fight against evil, join those who wish to give you control over the shit you own, go ahead and load https://www.fedoraproject.org/ onto a USB and try it out. Most software either has excellent alternatives, or works fine under Wine!

I'm curious as to how much something like shutup10 helps with that. I was always tempted, but never tried it. I barely touched windows these past few years anyways.
