> My current setup is a laptop with Windows 10 as a host and an Ubuntu VM for work, and while it was nice avoiding the common Linux laptop issues, I really do consider migrating to a Linux only setup because of how awful and unpredictable recent Windows updates are.

Have you tried delaying feature updates? The "higher" your edition, the longer you get to delay them. I got Windows 10 Professional, and the first thing I did was set those updates to be delayed for a year (I figure by then their involuntarily crowdsourced QA will resulted in a relatively stable build). I haven't had any serious problems yet.

Don't get me wrong, though, I hate what Microsoft is doing to Windows and I think this is all stupid and sad.

Thanks for the advice, Actually I have disabled the updates altogether (I have the Pro version) and currently on 1909 version. My plan is to set up a backup laptop (90% done atm) and only then run the updates on weekend
