@alexkaessner@mas.to @OndrejMirtes@phpc.social No "Maybe later" dialogs. None. Every dialogue without "No" option is a middle finger shown to the user. No Microsoft account required to use the computer. No forced feature previews. No sudden changes on functionality to chase the new hype. No advertisements in the OS search bar or notification area. Stability is a big thing. How do elderly keep up with all the stuff Microsoft puts into Windows, all the sudden changes in UI? Install RedHat or Ubuntu LTS and your OS and supplications are stable for many years. Obviously, for power users it's leagues beyond Windows. There's no discussion.

@staticnoisexyz@infosec.exchange Oh yeah, I hate those freaking ads. In Windows they don’t even try to hide them anymore. But those sneaky ads and notification (ads) aren’t that much better! 😤 I know from other people that stability is a big thing. For me (as a UI designer) I think change *can* be good. But obviously only for the better or for products to grow. But recently I feel like the opposite is the trend and stuff gets complicated and bloated.
