    I have never spent hours on a Windows install. Full stop.

    This is my routine. Install windows, sign in. Install tailscale. Change my trackpad settings. Done.

    My Adguard takes care of the rest.

      So you are an Edge user then, without any non-MS desktop software, I take it?

      A lot of time we spend installing Unix-like systems is, well, picking unnecessary stuff, like themes, fonts, moving widgets on a taskbar, moving profiles for various software, like Firefox, qBittorrent, aMule … , setting up audio players.

      If I could do that on Windows to any satisfactory result, I would.

      If I don’t count that, installing the OS itself usually takes me like 15 minutes maybe. Not counting the time to write the image, or the time to free a partition, or something like that.

        Yes, I use edge.

        On Linux, you would get random things you have to fix. Oh, weird, the back button on my mouse doesn’t work in Firefox. Hm… Interesting, my Nvidia video card isn’t working correctly. Ummm, my laptop doesn’t go to sleep when I close it, but overheats it instead. Random shit like this.
