Personally, if I were being a dick for whatever reason and knew I was right, the thing that would absolutely make my day would be seeing them trying to double down and make some shit up despite getting caught being wrong. Even better if you ghost me. It means I've won and you're being immature about it.
But if somebody actually admitted they were wrong but points out I was being a shithead about it? Then I'd feel bad.
Remove the bloatware with a free program like ShutUp10++, and Windows is a fine OS. Linux may very well be better still, but better enough to go through the effort of switching over, reinstalling everything, relearning everything, finding alternatives to programs, etc.? I doubt it. Not for me at least.
