  • I would say upgrading to an SSD is like a magic wand for an ailing system, regardless of OS.

    As others have said, at the core the issue is enshittification, be it AI, or Recall, or ads, or Microsoft account requirements.

    Truth is, if Microsoft had taken all of that out, left me with something that was functionally very much like what was available in the XP & 7 era, then eh… Windows would probably still be my daily driver. I still have to use it for work. But there has just too much encroachment on the ways I want to use and control what is on my system that I couldn’t justify using it anymore, let alone pay for it.

    All my home computers are on Arch or Debian now, and I couldn’t be happier.
