After 20 years of selling and supporting MS, I upgraded to Linux Mint.
A windows that has less productivity, less functionality, semi-random lockout from shutdown when you need to catch train/plane/meeting , "loses" drivers after updates, massively slow on updates, privacy issues and spammy apps you can't remove isn't "broken" compared to Windows 7? Really?
I've been using windows since 1990s, UNIX family since 1986, programming seriously since 1979. Maybe Windows 2.0, Windows 3.0 and Windows ME were worse.
I've set up and maintained sites with multiple servers and over 450 NT workstations locked down, remote admin, remote program install. No doubt if it's the day job you can maintain Windows 10 and support the users. However essentially MS has lost the plot.
I give thanks each day that am seeing another one and no longer supporting Windows. Almost all the family and friends are on Linux Mint, LibreOffice, Gimp, Firefox or Waterfox with uMatrix, Thunderbird Email etc and it's great. Zero time spent supporting them.
