      Back in the Windows XP days, not geting security updates was a death sentence for a pc. Even on a dialup internet, it only took minutes to get infected.

    People used to argue for Windows over Linux because of its reliability, but nowadays it seems like the reverse is true. I can’t remember the last time my system broke for a reason that wasn’t my fault, whereas Windows is constantly in the news for pushing some dumb bug that should’ve been caught during testing.

      I’m a windows user (also Mac and various flavors of Linux).

      I’ve not had any issues with Windows since I installed 11. I rarely had issues with 10 and 11 seems just as stable.
