Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn't always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

Hey I havent down voted anything if it helps.

To get a bit more philosophical I think it's almost important there's assholes like me in the Linux community; its growing desktop share is great but at the end of the day you have to WANT to use it to make full use of Linux as a tool, and if you are hellbent on finding problems with it you can just leave if you're not having fun - were not like Microsoft, nor will follow its customs.

if you are hellbent on finding problems with it you can just leave if you're not having fun

This is exactly the kind of gaslighting I said you should stop doing.
