This is normal Microsoft cadence: one good OS, one shitty OS.
Windows 12 is supposed to be a subscription service.
Also Windows 10 was/is some ass compared to 7 (out of the box). Preinstalls unwanted apps like Candy Crush, has ads, inconsistent UI elements, etc.
Have you heard about decrapify? I highly recommend it for all new Win10 installs.
There are many tools and scripts to remove bloatware from Windows, which is why I specified a stock install, since the majority of users will use the stock install.
Also I haven't daily driven Windows in over a decade now. Been using Linux.
Linux FTW. I have Windows 10 on my desktop only because I heavily mod Skyrim and it's a bitch to get all the tools and external mods to work under Linux. My laptop runs Linux and so does pretty much every other device I use.
