I'm not that special, either. But I also don't give two figs that the Start menu includes a link to TikTok, or that the pre-loaded Solitaire is a mobile game straight out of the fifth circle of hell.
I don't click on shit in the start menu, I don't play Solitaire, and I have way more important things to get upset over.
Good for you… or not I guess if you have bigger issues than what OS to use. I really can’t tell.
Anyway, my biggest issue with Windows that pushed me away was the feeling of loosing control, caused by settings constantly being undone. So I solved it by dumping Windows.
By the sounds of it, you are still happy with it, so cool.
