    Trust me you want to use an online Microsoft account as your sign in for your personal PC. Are you sure? You’ll be missing out if you don’t! Trust me…

    ^ windows when you install it.

    I mean how else will you get wicked fast search results for your apps when you push the windows key? Ha! Gotcha, first we will search the web, and slowly. Your work can wait.

    Experience on Linux and Mac is way better for launching apps.

      I jump through hoops when I install Windows to avoid that Microsoft login. Total PITA.

      I know Linux is better, and I do dabble in it. Sadly I’m a fossilized corporate drone at this point, and am stuck with Windows at my job.

      One more thing to look forward to in retirement, finally getting serious about learning Linux.

        In 2023 it’s really easy now. Honestly the install process like 9 years ago was easier than windows because you got a proper Gui.

        90% of shit runs in a browser now. Browsers have been fine on Linux since forever. I still game and video edit with a professional editor no problem. Just give it a whirl on a spare disk or something, I promise it will likely be painless :).

        Not much to “learn” unless you have quirky hardware that doesn’t have proper drivers but most everything works out of the box these days.
