    Sure, but how many “easily changed things” do you need for the camel’s back to break?

    I feel like I constantly hear of tiny little things that get worse in windows. Sure, maybe each individually is not a big deal, but it all is just forever added on, constantly creating a slightly worse user experience.

    In the end, windows is not follow a very user-friendly/user-centric design.

      That’s basically what it was for me. For many years I’ve had a folder saved on my computer called “registry tweaks”, in which I’ve maintained a growing list of notes about all the settings and registry edits and other cruft I have to change to make Window less-shit. (Most of it is about the registry, but not all.)

      That list of tweaks just kept getting longer; but there was also a growing set of things that were bad and unfixable; (various nags, and surveillance / telemetry etc.) . No one thing was intolerable, but as a whole - it just isn’t worth it any more. It’s easier to learn to use an entirely new OS than to continue to wrestle with the enshitification of Windows.

      Are you insinuating Linux (or osx for that matter) is well known for shipping well loved defaults?
