Thanks to fireman15 for the ping!

Just because Microsoft stops offering “support” for Windows 10
dose not mean it is going to stop working.

Done!

The requirement to have a Microsoft cloud account to be able to install and run Windows is abominable. It's supposed to be an operating system, not a freakin' advertising platform.

Oh, wait....

I run Win11 at work because I'm required to, and there I have a Microsoft cloud account through my employer. Okay, whatever.

But at home, it's gonna be Win10 for the foreseeable future. Along with the many Macs and Linuxes. I cuss at them all. :-)

There is no doubt that the Linux users will show up in this thread berating anyone who is hesitant to switch to Linux.

Been there, do not, and yet for some, due to their aversion to MS, they cannot tolerate the reality that some users have tried both Linux and Windows, and find the latter superior in terms of the means of customization for efficiency, (without paying MS, or enabling elementary, or autoupdates). Thus such cultic example. I choose freedom to chose, and thank God their are options.

As for Linux, I have found PCLinuxOS KDE Plasma to be the best for customization, though TMK I did not use available propriety codecs due to the questionable legality of them.

If MS ever prohibits free safe alternatives to its out-of-out "improvements, such as ExplorerPatcher) and thus 7+ Taskbar Tweaker and Open-Shell-Menu. and the over 200 tweaks available in Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 and now there is Ultimate Windows Tweaker 5 , then I may have to engage in the extensive time and energy to make Linux my main OS with the customization I want.

Thank God for choices.,
