    Windows just keeps getting fucking worse. I work with it at my job and just trying to download something from the web means I’m immediately exposed to all kinds politics and celebrity gossip trash via Edge. I have no idea how anyone uses it on a daily basis for their personal computer.

      So one of my jobs at my company is managing out windows endpoints (it’s a mostly Mac shop where the devs are also run Linux).

      If you set up a domain and join the machine, and also install something like Firefox during imaging (with a known clean image to remove the crap) the UI is more or less like any other sane OS. You click the web and the internet opens, email/office all work.

      If you don’t have someone like me wacking all the bullshit with IT black magic? I have no idea how people function with it.

        Yep, pretty much the same story where I work as well.

        Can’t wait for the LTSC versions to come out, at least they will be crapless.
