Funny how I see no ads in Win10. Where are these supposed ads I keep hearing accusations about? The only thing close that I've ever seen was a "recommended app" in the start menu, which was a simple setting turned off in the settings - not even buried - and that was it. Never been an ad since. Yes, it has some preloaded junk when first installed that I find a nuisance to have to remove, but once removed I don't see it anymore, so, meh. They aren't bombarding me with stuff.
I am not praising Win10 blindly. Where have I ever done that? Never. So stop labeling me something I'm not, just because I happen to disagree with you. Yes, I said "goons" but it was a tongue in cheek comment, I guess I shouldn't have assumed that the "lol" at the end would be clear enough it was a joke
Yes there are some things that MS has done with win10 that I find irritating (forced lock screen is annoying on some device types for example), but show me an OS that doesn't have some sort of irritant somewhere in it. They don't exist
But personally, I don't find win10 a hassle or full of problems anymore. I've found it pretty smooth sailing overall at this point. I deal with Win10 on a daily basis in a corporate environment.
You do have an option to get an OS that does exactly what you want - program it yourself. Start with a Linux distro perhaps. Wanting any company - small or large - to cater their software to do exactly what you personally want is asking a bit much. They make software for millions of people to use, and nobody can be expected to cater to the whims of every single individual user. This isn't being "corporate apologist" this is simply being reasonable.
