That's weird because I found XP required a lot more f**king about than any recent versions of Windows. To be fair, that's mostly about computing power, not the OS, but still, I don't miss the XP days one little bit. I haven't done the tiniest bit of tweaking of anything in Windows since about Windows 8, really. It all just works, so I leave it alone.I'm a long term Linux user since about Windows Vista (i used to be a long term windows user).
However, I really miss the Windows XP SP2 days and system. That was the most stable for my DAW use.
Ever since, I got suckered into doing too much system admin work when I just want to do music.
Don't you think that's a bit of the tail wagging the dog? My philosophy is to use the OS that supports all the applications I want to use. The OS is irrelevant, what matters is the software I want to run on it. The OS's job is to get out of the way and let me do my work and Windows does that well enough. I've been down the dual-booting path and it is a giant PITA that amplifies all your problems, rather than solving them.So I can say that I kinda wish that I hadn't switched to Linux. But every time I look at Windows it disgusts me and I usually delete it.
Ultimately, it's what Churchill said about Democracy - Windows is the worst operating system ever, except for all the other operating systems.
