I’m adjusting Windows to better suit my preferences, tackling the main problems it faces. I’ve taken steps such as disabling automatic updates, using semi-automatic updates that require manual activation, installing only bug fixes and security patches, and enabling manual updates. Notifications are now less intrusive, and the bloatware has been fully removed. The user interface has been significantly improved—Windows 7 Start Menu is back, Windows Aero is restored, and search filters are available in Explorer. I’ve also made Aero compatible with Chromium-based browsers.

Set up Linux, it offers greater flexibility. ...until Microsoft alters it once more. Until the upcoming major update.

I'd prefer the window interface to be more intelligent. When my mouse enters a zone, it makes sense—it often indicates something important. For example, if my mouse lands in the system tray and I right-click on an icon to open its context menu, that's normal. This isn't the moment to interrupt with a pop-up alert! I don't want to dismiss all notifications just to reach or perform an action in the system tray, particularly when I'm meant to engage with something there. The Windows interface should temporarily silence alerts if my mouse is actively interacting with the tray.

The update process for Windows behaves differently here—it won't perform those changes I mentioned. It's using an LTSB version, so major updates aren't available. Because it's built from late 2018 and is LTSB, you'll receive support, security patches, and bug fixes until late 2028.

Sure, but you must understand this – you need to operate as a business and purchase a minimum of five licenses.
