Only thing I hate about Windows is frequent and slow updates. Other than that no problems. I have written a lot of my own software to manage my investments using dBase and I am not sure it will be problem in moving to Linux.
The slow update issue I control by disabling updates for 3 months. Never had issues with hacking in 30 years using Windows.

OK, this is what you WILL like about updates. It does not give you the “Checking for updates” every time it starts up. Depending on how you want your updates or even not want any updates it does it all in the background later after you are already booted up and using it. You never even know it is happening. It boots up, you go to work, and it does all that in the background without bothering you.
And the best thing? It only updates what is absolutely needed. It doesn’t hand you a bunch of crap and setting changes you do not need or want. And you can shut off updates indefinitely if you want. And after it gives you a reminder you can go pick through the updates and choose what you want updated or not. You are not forced to into the windows style update requirement and hold up keeping you from using it.
