What does M$ Windows provide to me as a computer user that I can’t get elsewhere?
Note that I used to do real-time assembly code to run vehicle control systems produced in the millions.
It comes with most computers these days unless you buy a far more expensive Apple product, or a much less capable Chromebook. All of my computers double or triple boot, and I have several virtual machines with various operating systems that I keep current as well. Why? It is a hobby.
I also have a large collection of vintage computers and electronic items that go back several decades. I also collect of wind-up phonographs, old radios, and vintage still, movie and video cameras, not to mention old phones etc... I am trying to document these items because who knows what will happen to them when I leave this world.

Proper low blue light adjustments for using my PC at night. Windows 11 has this and it works great.
low blue light = red shift ..... Your display is now more red oriented and lot less blue light. I am using this right this moment! For my 27” LED display.
