Yeah, but windows 10 LITERALLY forced users to upgrade. I'd come in to work and entire offices full of workstations would have upgraded overnight, with absolutely no intervention. That's fucked. And they made it difficult (and oftentimes impossible) to roll back. Saw many users lose all data because their machines became corrupted during the update. Fucking madness.

We disable automatic updates and telemetry completely and make use of steady state tools like reboot restore for systems that require windows applications.

This allows us to disable system restore, antivirus, and backup tools. We map a SMB share to the P ("Persistent" drive letter). That data is stored on a freenas data server replicated to 2 other offsite locations.

Also, each machine has the Fog service installed. That means we can backup/image any system we choose overnight. We also employ Veyon as a means of computer monitoring and lab management.

CIS class of '84 here. I have to use it on my main workstation at work, but I won't have it at home. My wife still runs XP, and I'm happy with Mint on my desktop and laptop. The days of enjoying twiddling with a broken system are long behind me.

Yes, Windows 10 is the worst of the worst, there are so many frackers and pieces of spyware built into it that it will never be a secure operating system.

Oddly, if it weren't for Windows being the same since its inception, I think windows XP was the best version all the pros and cons considered.
