Hey, I switched when Vista was released. I’ve spent a pretty long time with macOS for the need of design software, and it feels sad I’ve abandoned macOS now as Apple has these wonderful ARM processors. But reading other people opinions about Tahoe, it feels like I didn’t make a mistake. I’m pretty happy with Sway WM these days.
The best time to switch was Windows Vista, the second best time is now. Glad you did it!
Vista was fine. They just made the shift then to signed drivers, so anyone with old hardware was fucked. Windows 7 was no better, really; it had just been long enough that most people were using hardware with signed drivers by then, or were willing to accept that the “old thing” didn’t work anymore, so the perception was that it just worked.
Granted, Vista had bad default theming, so 7 looked better (by default). That probably plays a lot into the hate for Vista, too.
