Microsoft Auto-Scheduling Windows 10 Updates
So who wants to jump ship and join the Linux bandwagon? There are no annoying popups demanding you upgrade and no sneaky data gathering to sell to marketers. Oh and then there is the remarkable lack of malware on Linux to consider too.
I jumped ship ages ago and I am so glad I did.

Microsoft Windows-as-malware resetting automatic updates.
Here we go again folks. Now Microsoft is scheduling your upgrade even if you’ve turned it down in the past. If you keep an eye on your updates, you can still re-refuse.
With all the older PCs out there, boxes with tricky hardware, weird legacy software, and so forth I’m surprised that Microsoft hasn’t been sued yet by someone who’s had there box ruined.

Alan Stainer I used Linux for many years with a second machine running Windows for things I hadn’t figured out how to do on Linux. Audio and video were the biggest problems due to proprietary drivers that could not be made to work on an open source platform.
Then the Linux box refused to boot up one day leaving me with just a laptop. The desktop wasn’t worth fixing because of its age so I got hold of another machine but I just left it with Windows installed and used that.
Then the laptop gave up the ghost as well but eventually I got the money together to buy another machine. Not very powerful by modern standards and still Windows. but it runs the main applications that I use so £60 delivered certainly worked for me.
The older desktop does need changes but I first need to figure out a plan to get the 130 Gb of files off it so I can do a Linux install then have the more powerful machine on Linux and the other on Windows.
Thoughts are a large USB drive that could ultimately be shared by both computers or Dropbos (or similar).
I could always just buy another computer and put Linux on it of course but I am short on desk space.

Carl M. Gregory Win10 is messy out of the box though it works. I need to spend some time on configuring it better but that can wait.
I used Linux as my primary operating system for many years and only stopped because the machine running it gave up the ghost. It is going back on to one machine next week though and that one may then become my main machine.
