It's worth a mention just how buggy win10 has been for me. I don't spend much
time working in windows, but every time I do I encounter one issue or another.

File explorer freezes / crashes.

There is that one empty folder on my desktop that I cannot delete because it
is in use, but there is nothing in the folder and no program is conceivably
using it.

There are occasional glitches with git. It wouldn't let me clone a git repo
somewhere because it said the folder already existed. No such folder existed.
Changing the destination name did nothing. Restarting fixed it.

There was a bug which kept rearranging the order of desktop icons, which was
actually pretty annoying.

There is a bug that they seem to fix and then break with every other update.
Basically, if I go fullscreen with some programs and two monitors set to
mirror, the resolution zooms in and it's unusable. This is currently broken in
the latest stable release.

Installs from the windows store almost always fail for no obvious reason.

I updated to 1909, or w/e the latest is, hoping that some of the isues I've
encountered would be fixed. I've reinstalled the driver and tried fixing it
but the USB wifi adapter that I have now no longer works (still works fine in
Linux).

I could go on. That is with me going out of my way to not install much at all
on the pc, because I know that installing things like tweaks to stop telemetry
like the author suggests will lead to even more issues.

Contrast this to the experience I've had with Linux the past few years. It
never crashes. Core programs like nemo (file explorer) do not freeze / crash.
It updates without issue. I cannot think of a single issue i've had. The
computer does exactly what I expect it to do. Stability is vital if you want
to be productive.

I'm sure other folks have had the opposite experience. For me though
the old one.
