We don’t have internet explorer anymore and Edge is objectively the best browser by far with only Opera comparing in the feature set. Curated extension store, so MV2 with better security than mv3 providing full uBlock Origin. It has memory management for better performance on low spec PCs. Built in ad-blocking and tracker protection. And co-pilot integration is great. -You might call all that bloat, but native features > extensions if they’re good (they are).

I tried local AI, didn’t like it. Cloud link is fine, was easy to remove (and restore). Windows does a great job of introducing us to great new features without having to hear from others.

Windows is more resilient to bit flips. -Fact. It cannot correct them, but it can survive them better. I’ve written about this before as it has multiple mechanisms to help deal with them.

As for any potential actual issues, I recommend trying Linux again

Damn me for responding before reading your whole reply.
