Default Reason *TO* pick on Windows 10

Hi All,

This guy has well though out criticism and not just a fan boi
picking on someone. My purpose for posting is to make others
aware of the design flaws and to better deal with them and
to help others. So, tech evangelists, please take it elsewhere.

And yes, he forgot "Fast Boot".

And, also yes, not an excuse for not learning 10. Just
hold your nose.

I think a better article, would be finding a survey article
that details what the average user wants. Is an out-of-box
configuration sufficient ? Maybe that's all you need, for
the average user.

Having a series of picky people with some level of
skill analyze an OS, isn't going to tell naive users
what they need to know.

Naive users will have trouble with everything you give them.

And I still don't believe a bit, the stories about "I gave
my grandma Linux and she hasn't phoned back since". I have 15 years
of Unix experience, and I'm still wasting hours with the rough edges
of Linux. Which includes, making a network connection work on a new install
(because it's broken for my Intel NIC), when I can't get a web browser
to connect to the Internet so I can look up stuff. Between
Network Manager and SystemD adding no value to the experience,
all I get is more broken NICs for my trouble. The network actually
worked at one time, and there were fewer things to go wrong.

Nobody has "taste" in the Linux world. They're slaves
to convention. A SystemD convention. A PulseAudio convention
(when audio did have a migration story that didn't include Pulseaudio).

Who really needs all that *extra* aggravation.

And they can never leave well enough alone (just like Microsoft).
A couple years ago, I found some Linux Distros that could do
file sharing *perfectly*. What do I find today ? It's broken
again. The "automated Server setup" dialog has disappeared,
implying I'm supposed to go back to editing a gawd-awful
configuration file. And on the client side, maybe I can't
get SMBv1 to work, and there's no documentation about
what I have to do to fix it.

Suite Jesus, sir.
