To me an os should be something that just let's me run programs of my choice and use my hardware to it's fullest. Eg be as light as possible.
With windows it just wants to suck up all my hardware/battery by itself and puts up a fight anytime I want to install anything myself
Don't know how many times now I've had to take defaults away from things like edge but yeah
Might want to look into Linux :-)
While I exclusively use Linux at home and I recommend it to everyone especially on desktop, they mentioned battery life and from my experience that isn't its strong suit.
