Windows decided to delete all my documents and files 2 weeks ago. Even though I removed them from one drive, windows put them all back in. So when their one drive failed. I lost everything. Like every icon on my desktop too. Thank god i had just backed up a couple weeks before so I didn't lose much.
I was so pissed though that I immediately installed Linux Mint. Haven't looked back.
It’s all fun and games until you find that one specific thing you can’t live without that requires Windows lol. Hence why I typically have a low profile Windows 10 LTSC virtual machine set up on my Linux machines.
I'm sure I'll find something lol. Currently its still on that hard drive. But I pulled it out for now. I was angry and didn't wanna look at windows anymore but knew I'd probably need it again lol.
Same but Windows 7.
It seems fastest, most stable windows was 2000 but lacked good 64bit support. Much defaulted to 32bit :(
