I have mostly abandoned Win for many years (I only have gaming PC where I still have dual boot) Has it really gotten that bad? Every time I boot up Win I am shocked how long this clean PC with only Games installed and high end hardware takes to get ready. But at least it does its job.

On Linux (Kubuntu in my case) I haven't had an issue with hanging software in a long time. Even browsers have become completely stable.

Every Windows machine I’ve ever had just gets slower and slower over time. It takes several years, but after 2-3 years it’s taking ages to do basic tasks. I’m just kind of tired of it at this point.

It's incredible how quick they become when converted to Linux (though I always put light weight Linuxes on old machines, and that may have contributed)
