    The Windows store is also a sandboxed, heavily restricted pile of trash you can’t even get at for most of its apps.

    They changed that around the tine Windows 11 was released. Regular Win32 apps can be listed in there.

    NTFS permissions are just needlessly complicated and convoluted and create more problems than they solve for desktop use.

    What’s an example of a problem they create?

    If Windows would just use simple permissions like Linux does

    I don’t think using an antiquated permission system from the 1970s is the solution to anything. Being able to set permissions for only a single user and single group is very limiting, especially when there’s background processes that run as other users. There’s a reason later revisions of POSIX added ACLs.

    The excuses for using obsolete Windows continues by its paid shills and brainwashed users.

    lol I’m not a paid shill nor a brainwashed user; I just see pros and cons for all operating systems. Linux-based OSes do some things better, and Windows-based OSes do other things better. Even MacOS has its pros.
