Got to say they convinced me at last and I finally upgraded.
...to linux
Never.Going.Back.
Yep. The other day it rewrote a registry key that prevented these pop ups. I'm out. Debating which Debian distro to go to now.
Debian is the slow reliable. Go with mint for easy, Debian for completely foss, pop! OS for eaay nvidia drivers, or Ubuntu for.... Uh.... Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is good for if you want Snap packages forced on you. It is a shame, Ubuntu was my first distro, but I don't think I would ever use it again.
I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed if you want stuff to be very up to date (we got the xz backdoor first! yay!) but also easy and stable. And KDE Plasma is pretty good these days. Linux Mint is also good but it's a bit slower with the updates.
