Microsoft keeps releasing new versions of Windows.

They say each version is better than the previous one.

Is there some truth to this ? Or is this mostly marketing bullshit to push people to spend money?

    I haven’t had forced OneDrive on Windows 10, or Cortana.

    It comes with shit installed that it shouldn’t, but every thing I have uninstalled, has stayed that way.

    Other than the shitty settings menu, Windows 10 ended up okay. You just had to tweak and work around some things, which you will be doing with Linux too.

    Windows 11, on the other hand, is a complete pile of shit. I dual boot Linux now and use Windows less and less.

      This I’d, admittedly, a shaky memory from when Win10 was first released, but while you could disable the visible portions of Cortana, I remember being unable to disable the telemetry portion. Hell I remember a custom version of Win10 being built to remove all of the tracking stuff they put in it, I think RevOS was the name?

      Admittedly I haven’t used Windows at all outside of work in almost 4 years, and even then it hadn’t been my primary OS for a few years, so memory’s fuzzy
