The Day Windows Died
The Day Windows Died
As a longtime user of Windows, it was my first choice when preparing the first computer for my son. But that didn't work out as expected.

Haven’t used windows in a long time and this was worse than I expected, especially from the perspective of giving the OS to a kid to use.

Windows 11 really reminds me of ChromeOS.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was born during a Zoom call during the middle of the pandemic, after some marketing manager in marketing read an article about Chromebooks gaining market share.
I noticed that MSFT is pushing that cur-down browser-focused OS crap again.
But if I wanted a Chromebook, I'd get a bloody Chromebook!
@ajsadauskas @const_void @maegul except chromeos is at least light on resources resulting cheap affordable devices!
My father, the retired technician, would immediately go into the settings and start making changes even though he didn't understand what he was doing and would forget what he had done. I got tired of guessing.
I was amazed that I couldn't find software to lock him out of making changes. I tried a few, but like a teenager, he found ways around them. So I sat down and with a long list locked him out of installing software, remote access, settings, etc. It took a long time, but I nailed down about 95% the first time, then swept up the last bits later.
