I use Windows 10 Enterprise for a project I work on. I really like File Explorer, the taskbar, and the window switching system, but for system-level scripting and cli-based development, nothing beats a good ol’ bash terminal, whether on Linux or macOS. However, I detest Windows 10 Home for its extremely bloated menu layout, pre-installed spyware, and forced no-questions-asked-no-matter-how-much-you-protest updates. Doesn’t matter if you’re in the middle of some mission-critical task because it. will. update. For that reason alone, I completely abandoned Windows for home/personal use and now use either Mint or macOS (mostly macOS tbh). I’m no fanboi of any particular OS, and all I care about is an OS that’s stable, easy to use, and that does what I tell it (or tell it not) to do.<p>I never had OP’s experiences with Mint, so in that regard he’s generalizing. Like Christianity and its many denominations, it REALLY depends on the distro.
