You’ll be back. Have you tried Windows 11 lately? Want an exercise in self-restraint not plowing yours fist through your monitor? Use Windows. Microsoft as Steve Jobs said has no taste. They hire the cheapest international engineers who take zero accountability and perfection in their work. Everything is just, that will do. Good enough.
I’m using Windows 11 and prefer it to current macOS by quite a margin. But OP is moving to Linux, so it doesn’t matter either way.
The article did not say anywhere that Windows is even under consideration, so your criticism doesn't apply.
Author is going to Linux, which has really gotten smooth in the last few years. I've been able to hand it to tech illiterate friends and not once get a tech support call. Everything you might need has a working, polished implementation. Give it a try sometime :)
