This is normal Microsoft cadence: one good OS, one shitty OS.
Windows 12 is supposed to be a subscription service.
Also Windows 10 was/is some ass compared to 7 (out of the box). Preinstalls unwanted apps like Candy Crush, has ads, inconsistent UI elements, etc.
New os ass because i have to click uninstall candy crush 🤣🤣 takes 1/10 of the time needed to whine on internet about it
It starts to grind you down when you're dealing with multiple users per PC and unmanaged PCs from a bunch of different sources. Propagating start menu changes to all profiles post install is a hassle in 10 & 11. Sysprep is a lot less useful for setting up the defaults pre install now. The out of the box install process is smoother these days without as much waiting to click through various stages but the post install environment reduces your quality of life with a bunch of clicky fiddling.
I used to customize the hell out of my XP installs, once they changed everything in 7 I stopped doing it and started using Linux more and more.
Multiple computers and install enviroment every decade I change pc how did I miss those relatable things time for linux
