Same here. I do not miss all the shit windows did. Things like:

  • starting drivers manually to use graphics tablet
  • finding drivers for hardware that work
  • random driver crashes for various pieces of hardware I have
  • BSODs
  • rummaging around settings, configs and regedit to get something to work a bit better
  • disabling things you don't want through regedit or some hidden config
  • uninstallable bloatware
  • ads everywhere
  • super key + type in the program you want to open not working
  • messing around with tons of files for old games to work
  • going through shady sites to get software
  • not having a software center for all your downloads
  • needing to install weird programs for sftp support
  • needing to reinstall the os when a big issue develops and you did not manually set up backups

ironically half these things are what people think is the linux ux. Seriously, windows is just terrible, clunky, buggy and full of things you need to be an advanced user to fix.

Mints file explorer when moving large files does leave some meat on the bone for me.
