> I could tolerate using Windows if I was forced to.

I couldn't. I reinstalled windows on a laptop I was giving away a few months ago and it literally took me 25 minutes to figure out how to install Chrome. Windows refused to download it in Edge, stating it was a security concern, and it was endless googling to find out how to disable this setting, and none of the instructions seemed to work. Several restarts later and toggling a million things, it finally worked, but i'm not even sure specifically what it was.

If I can't install the absolute bare minimum software without issues like this, I cannot tolerate it.
