    I use Linux Mint on my laptop but I also use my wife’s laptop with the latest version of Windows some. The contrast is stark. Mint just works - simple, intuitive, no fuss. Windows is just so bloated, it’s amazing. I’m old enough to remember using Windows 95 and on. It wasn’t always this way with them, but I don’t know how people can stand using it nowadays.

      I switched to Linux exactly 10 years ago, last windows SO I used was Win7, coudln’t really complain about it back then for the uses I had.

      But trying to use it now is a nightmarish foreign land, for example:

      • It had a stupid text thingy bottom left showing latest currency rates “0.2% up USD to MXN”.

      • Searching for an installed program also showed a google Bing! search of the said word

      • Nobody has been able to set the clock properly. If you set it to Argentina timezone, it shows 3 hours more, if you set it to the hour that should be, sometimes works, but next time you boot it it might be 3 hours in the future or three hours in the past, or overriden the setting option.
