Windows from a consumer perspective got a whole lot worse with brilliant decision to turn the whole OS into ad ware . 🤮🤮. Sorry Microsoft - that is really going to hurt you bad in the long term.
Linux is just too open for me. Too messy. I’m good with it on the server but I don’t enjoy the experience of Linux on the desktop. Chrome book may be - but then that is getting more closed again.
Macbooks are not really upgradeable and they are expensive. You have to pick your best of a rather limited set of options.
If you can tolerate windows or Linux a nice option might be this. My friend Andrew is enthusiastic about it but has not yet bought it.
