    with windows updating is just 1 click, after notification pops up? i dont need it any easier

    whatever mobile games i uninstalled them once years ago when windows 10 was installed

    search in windows explorer is always the same idk no complaints there

    install wizard gives me option like install location and components i want, choices are good no? linux is faster aka it doesnt let u choose?

      They massively broke search in windows 10, it worked fine in 7 and 8 but is slow and will likely return wrong results starting with 10. For example if I want the registry editor I’ll press the window key and type ‘reg’, the first result used to be the registry editor but when I last used it the top result was a folder resulting in opening that folder when pressing enter. You can revert how search functions with a 3th party tool which is what I always ended up doing, I think it was called classic shell but it was years ago.

      In Linux you can compile it for yourself if you are so inclined, you can change literally anything then. I have never needed to change the install location for applications so it’s not really something I would prefer if the downside is I have to find the installer and go through the install wizard for each.

      With Linux I can also install every single application I need with a simple single command and move over the home folder if I need a new install for any reason and everything is like before, making a fresh install take like 10 minutes.

        just typed reg first result is registry editor

        i do not want to change literally everything in os and break stuff registry is too much already

        install every single application I need with a simple single command

        double click is much easier commands are not a selling point

        fresh install take like 10 minutes.

        i installed once in 2016 this is a non issue i dont reinstall my os as a hobby?

          Then I’m glad they finally fixed it. The 2 years I used Windows 10 it was completely broken. You kinda need the registry editor if you don’t have the pro edition, it’s the only way to make updates manual then.

          Double click what? You can’t double click to install 30+ applications at once. I guess only if you create the installer but thats even more steps.

          My windows install managed to shit itself badly enough at least one every year. The final one was when an update corrupted one database related to the start menu resulting in a BSOD when trying to open it. There is no way to regenerate that database apparently, only fix was a full reinstall.
