I tried to use Linux but it was a death by a thousand paper cuts of bugs and glitches. I've never experienced Windows stopping me from running a program, maybe you're actually trying to run malware? It's a good idea to install an antivirus or at least windows defender so you can avoid these.

Windows after version 7 is essentially death by a thousand dark patterns, forced surprise updates, forgotten preferences, etc..
Linux is death by a thousand bugs and glitches, I've never experienced a dark pattern in Windows.
Staying on windows 95 for the last two decades is an underrated move, I definitely agree with that.
Windows 11, latest patch. What dark pattern am I not seeing?
Making it difficult to install alternative browsers? Requiring you push 5 "skip" buttons to avoid getting a Microsoft online account on a Windows install? And perhaps coming soon to a computer near you:

Microsoft is testing ads in the Windows 11 File Explorer: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-is...

Try Virtualbox in combination with docker and WSL2, that was a disaster in Windows.
How so?
