How about you galaxy brain "just switch to linux" people actually give some helpful advice? Clearly there's a registry edit that can be made for Windows users that would take all of 5 seconds to complete, rather than an entire week formatting, installing, reconfiguring an entirely new OS that also requires a degree of command line knowledge.

Spend a "week" installing mosquito net >> spend 5 sec for each mosquito

I don't want to force anyone to use Linux, but everyone have the choice, to have a better experience.

No, it doesn't takes a week to install nor endless time of os configurations nor galaxy brain, in 2023.
