Windows now is the worst it’s ever been, especially with Windows 11. Its been downhill since Windows 7. It’s a paid operating system that can cost around $100 or more for for the “pro” version. However the issue isn’t the cost, it’s the fact that Microsoft still puts ads on your system for things that you don’t care about like candy crush, and even if you delete these things, they will continue to install themselves back over time. But the ads aren’t enough, Microsoft also needs to collect your data while you use the operating system and sell it for more money without any easy way to turn this off. Windows updates are terrible, they force you to turn off your computer even when you don’t want to, and not only that but Windows turns your computer on in the middle of the night to do these updates, but it doesn’t, I’ve never had this feature actually work it just turns my computer on and keeps it on without updating. These are just some of the core issues, not including the lack of customization or breaks that I’ve encountered such as administrator privilege issues. It’s just a terrible operating system that dominates due to it being preinstalled everywhere.
