Yeah sticking to Windows for now. I'm on Win10, really really really dont want to go to Win11. See if Microsoft realise it was a mistake ( like Win8 ) and go back to a Win10 like system for Win12. For now I'm looking at the extended support for Win10.

The app is king, not the OS. If the OS cant run your app, then the problem is the OS, dont blame the app.

For a general office environment, or home user, I think Linux is a viable option. I run Linux on two PC's here, a server and a Pi400.

Its just the specialised high end or legacy software that's a problem. I really like CachyOS with the KDE interface. I was so close to making it my daily driver, but that no thumbnails issue was going to hinder my workflow and drive me nuts. I'm to old to be aggravated more than I already am.
