====== Why windows 10 is even worse ======

Plenty to write here, just not made it public yet.

I'm forced to use windows at work for now, at home I'm 100% Linux based, so writing about windows without risking comparing it to something much better is not easy.

Initial observations:- 

  - It doesn't crash or freeze up as often, this might seem to be real progress for microsoft, but they've only had 30 years of windows to write an OS which doesn't crash frequently. Hardly an achievement really. 
  - The Menu is better than w8, but that's a low base to compare with. But it's still just hard to use, it's easier to type the app into the search bar, but instead of just showing apps installed, if it doesn't find what you are after it just returns internet based links. 
  - Sleep, I have a dual monitor setup, laptop screen and external HDMI monitor (sadly still no multiple desktops it seems, see [[rb:whywin7isrubbish#multiple_desktop_support|Windows 7 is rubbish and KDE/Linux is better]]) but if I close the laptop lid to sleep, whne I open it again, all the windows are on the laptop screen, seems incapable of remembering where I want windows putting. Given the name of the OS, that's more than a bit ironic. I'd just like to put Windows in the recycle bin of course...

So frankly, in three years of having to use it, still nothing I couldn't have done easier, better and more securely than with Linux and Mac.


In fact even MSN has an article rubbishing windows 11:- [[https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technology/microsoft-is-digging-its-own-grave-with-windows-11-and-it-has-to-stop/ar-AA1CQkbh]]. Sadly the article does not go far enough by suggestion that computers rendered obsolete by TPM 2.0 are still ideal for upgrading to Linux.

Pity there doesn't appear to be a comments page I can add this idea to.
