Those articles are funny because for me all previous Windows versions were
unusable, but I've found Windows 10 just the best OS. I don't have Facebook
preinstalled and even if it was, I couldn't care less about it. There are
bazillions of DLLs and other stuff preinstalled, what's the deal with one HTML
page that I don't even run. I value other things, real usability improvements
(for example virtual desktops are much better than macOS ones) and technical
advancements (Linux subsystem, hyper-v, PowerShell).

I'm not sure how you would create a worse implementation of virtual desktops
than Windows 10 has them:

\- No indication of other workspaces existing.

\- No indication of what applications are in those other workspaces.

\- The keyboard shortcut for walking through desktops requires two hands (and
in typical Windows fashion cannot be rebound).

I'm not familiar with macOS' implementation, so if you actually think that
it's worse, then I would like to know how.

Also should be said, though, that you can replace the window manager on macOS,
which should allow you to get most of the features of an actually good
implementation of virtual desktops. I'm not aware of a way to do that on
Windows.

I guess I'm using it differently, because I don't find those issues so
important for me. I'm using desktops as a different computers for different
states of mind. One desktop has some relaxing read (hacker news, for example,
or reddit), some explorers, notepads with not so important stuff. 1-2 desktops
for work projects, usually it's exactly one desktop. One desktop for gaming
and related websites, discord, etc. I'm switching between them may be one or
two times a day. I can
