      A lot of schools have Chromebooks too. You’re not doing any serious business, CAD, Photoshop, or programming there.

        I grew up with windows and it’s sloppy implementation of a lot of things is a big reason why I got into computers because it let me fuck around with things under the hood easily. I remember messing around with the registry to do things that you couldn’t edit in the settings guis.

          Have you tried Linux or the BSDs? Having spent a lot of time on Linux and Windows, the former feels like a well oiled machine with many fine tuning screws, while the latter feels like a rusted old trunk that needs a crowbar to get anything done.

            Of course, Windows being so janky for power user stuff made Linux a lot easier for me to pick up in comparison
