      I’m about at that point. I had to set up a Windows VM last year to do some testing. It was more of a struggle to install than I expected.

        I stopped using it regularly several years ago, then I come back to help someone install it and it took me more time than I want to admit to figure out how to make a local account that wasn’t attached to a Microsoft cloud account.

            By design. Soon ms won’t allow you to even have the OS installed, it will only be internet accessible (no internet=no pc usage) so they can steal more data for free.

      Nah, even a kid can handle Windows. But after becoming a Linux user, I don’t even want to look at Windows, that’s for sure.

        A young enough kid can handle just about anything put in front of them at the same rate. When you are learning from zero there isn’t a ton of difference.

        I mean early 2000s? Oh windows easier 100%. But today? Both are easy im different ways and to a child just starting out on computer it won’t matter
