    The problems are different, and you can fix them in Linux. However, if you like dogshit workflows, a lack of customization, no control or the feeling like your OS is in control instead of you, ads in your OS, and telemetry data being sent, then Windows is the far better option.

        It’s ads for other Microsoft products, and some things that will very obviously get ads in the future, like news, but actually don’t and nobody can explain how.

        So yes, there are ads, but not the way you probably imagined. (Yet?)

          Imagine playing solitaire and everytime you flip the draw pile a 30 second unskippable online casino ad plays.

            I have seen mobile games that are like this.

            Some even happen to be popular, so I have no idea what people consider fun.

      If you run an office and need your computers to be relatively idiotproof, use Windowss

        And lock that damn Windows DOWN. Windows isn’t idiotproof if you can install just about any software you want.
