And seeing as Windows is now a nightmare, and I am a technical person, I’ve moved everything to Linux.

Everything is still harder to get set up right on Linux, but it stays right. I’ve also found the LLM’s dramatically shorten the time required to configure things I don’t have experience with.

MS have abandoned their power users, and the power users (some of them at least), are abandoning MS. I keep Windows around in a VM for work purposes; never had a better setup! I’m in complete control of my PC again.

I have to use xattr -c on every "untrusted" binary in macOS just in order to run it. So much for easy to use with wide appeal...

Somehow macOS only has one System Settings app. (They did admittedly make a mess of it lately, but in an entirely different way than Windows.) And yes, they relegate a lot of advanced stuff to the Terminal.
