Yeah, right, these types of shallow pieces about Linux "for the masses" have the same structure without addressing the obvious issues:

- Windows has the following 3 components that became worse.

Well, they were bad 10 years ago (the ones that existed), so you could've spent a few hours per component to replace it (Start menu), disable it (Copilot), or find a workaround (invoke process manager with a shortcut without going through the webview in ctrl-alt-del or maybe there is some non-web app the presents the same menu of a few items) or even just ingore it (what are the serious practical issues with using dumb webviews for a tiny menu?)

But the alternative would require you spending many days learning the whole new OS where many things you're used to would simply not exist.

Want to find any file anywhere instantly (including newly created)? No, impossible, there is only NTFS Everything app that does it.

Got tired of the File Explorer garbage and got used to the greatness of Opus? Well, good luck, there is not a single great file manager over there

Want to relax and play X, Y, Z games? Oops, only A, B, C have good support, will take another decade to fix that (but at least someone is working on that)

Want to use your favorite Productivity/VideoShop app? No one is even working on that, so another decade would not fix that.

So how is it reasonable (for the masses, not you!) to replace a few fixable annoyances with a bigger list of the same and an even bigger list of unfixable stuff?
