Windows 10 isn't great, I really dislike it. Linux works better for me, though Windows 7 is even more appealing. When it comes to Linux, I tend to use Manjaro.
I really dislike Windows 10, full of unnecessary features, and it's better to stick with Linux for updates.
I choose Win 10 since most of the software I rely on supports it. This should be a strong option for an operating system, as the programs I use are built for it. For additional systems, try booting the PC from two drives—one for each OS you want to run.
It varies based on your goals. Linux works well for software development since it’s open source, secure, lightweight, and temporary. Windows suits gaming and users with basic tech skills due to its ease of use and extensive software support, though it uses more resources which can be adjusted.
Windows 10 with "OOSU10.exe" installed delivers the full advantages of Windows while removing unnecessary bloat, intrusive tracking, and forced updates. It's completely free. I favor letting the operating system handle things and then selecting only the applications I require. A clean, uncluttered environment is what I value. Windows 10 remains useful only when third-party tools like OOSU10.exe or similar scripts are involved. If I were beginning with computers for personal use, professional tasks, creativity, and productivity, I’d opt for a Linux distribution instead of managing a large software library.
Linux is ideal if you're aiming for simplicity and efficiency. It requires minimal setup time—about 15 to 20 minutes to remove unnecessary components—and once installed, it operates smoothly without extra features. This lightweight approach makes it perfect for older hardware or those new to the OS.
