    I agree. I am quite comfortable with computers but, since I have switched to Linux about 10 years ago, I struggle any time I am asked for help on a Windows system.

    It’s not intuitive at all. Among the quirks, there are still 2 separate control panels that overlap, but not completely, then you have ever-buggy OneDrive, invasive notifications, a convoluted Start menu, …

    People find it simple only because they are used to it.

      Like many abuse victims, they apologize and don’t even see how bad it is. I see… things are… bad on all fronts. We need right to repair, and abolish trademark and copyright, and idea patents. And friends near us.
