Linux is of course the based solution but I feel you. Windows has gotten so fucking bad since 10, to the point where I feel like 10 was the first windows version I've personally used that has gotten WORSE during its life cycle.
95 and XP had popular service pack updates that improved things immeasurably.
Vista had a bunch of updates and service pack shit that largely solved a load of people's complaints with it by the end.
7 was goated with the sauce the whole time.
8 had 8.1 which was basically Win 10 lite. Not as good as 7 for most people but the .1 upgrade was the biggest improvement for a Windows version imo.
Now Windows 10 has just gotten shittier and shittier; It peaked around 2021. Even before I got onto Linux (and became biased) they were stuffing adware and toolbar shit into the desktop almost every update, and even with Win11 in full swing they've tried shoehorning AI crap into 10 anyway. What could've been another Windows 7 ended up being about as bad to use as 8.1.
