Then you’re lucky. Win11 virtually pushed me to Linux, I was a windows fanboy before.

    Windows 10 was the last actual Microsoft OS.

    I disagree. For me it was Win 7. And even in retrospective I’d say the last truly good and clean system was XP. I had to use it at work a month ago to troubleshoot a system and was surprised how well designed XP was for its time – and still is tbh

    I think the general consensus is that windows XP was the last clean and well put together microsoft os that's the rounded cleaner version of windows 2000.

    When windows 7 came out I downgraded back to XP, which with the new file system it's nearly impossible to pull off. I can't downgrade anything windows 10 and above and I'd have windows xp partitioned if I could.

    I’m not a fanboy, I just use whatever works
