It won't mess with anything, but it does require to be set up on every pc you want to use it.

Yeah I'm trying to go Google-less on my phone (I'll still use Youtube and such on my tablet), but I didn't really think about all that's synced with Google. I'm testing different solutions, but I haven't found a solution for all of it, thanks for the suggestions!

I wasn't able to find those settings. It's also not for installing new apps, but more for updates. You'll have to check for updates manually because of it. It also wasn't for the Play Store, but for F-Droid and such. I do think I'll install it again at some point, but I do use some Google services like the photo's backup and app backup. If I can find alternatives for that I will try it again.

I also like it, but installing apps takes such a long time and auto updates don't always work. When you open aurora store or f-droid you'll get a dialog to allow an app to install. Battery drain was also higher than on stock. Not sure why that is, even without Google apps.

If you don't use a semicolon directly in MySQL it won't do anything until you add it.

Same, many elements are blurry when I use scaling in Arch with KDE.

I didn't say I couldn't fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you'll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there's all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft's own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn't install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I've never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

What kind of oven do you have that warms up in 4 minutes?

Exactly, most, if not all, os's do this.

Ram usage is really nothing to worry about depending on the amount you have. Windows will free ram where needed as long as there is enough. If ram is not being used by applications it will be used for other things (it will be cached I believe?). If almost no ram is being used it means some things might take longer to load.

Windows on my Surface Go 2 used about 3-4GB of ram when idle, while on my work laptop with 64GB ram it uses about 10-12GB. But if necessary applications can use some of that ram that's normally being used in idle.

I do agree about Linux distros being faster, that's my experience as well.

I seem to remember that Carbon also doesn't need Origin, or am I wrong? I also think that it was awesome.
