Over the years I've tried switching to Linux and it definitely was less user friendly. I think Mint has made huge strides and hopefully will be able to take over.

Win 10 wasn't too bad
Then, why it has ads on start menu?
And half of the settings moved from old control panel to a new crappy UI settings. At least commit and move all of them.
I never find what I am looking for in there, without opening and closing a bunch of windows. I swear they regularly move location of some settings. Search function is pretty bad too.
Oh they want to, but i bet that shit's so intertwined that removing old audio menu will make your display output stop working.
Never had any ads in 10 or 11
I think it might be American thing.
Yep, I configure it with English UK as the windows display language then adjust my settings based on my real needs.
Nor did I. Considering it was an upgrade from Win 8 as well.

Windows Vista was better than 8 and 10, a lot of legacy devices in industry kept extended Vista support for years and years.

Wasn't 98 the precursor to ME? I thought 2000 was the server version (or something like that)?
OP wasn't yet born in the late second millennium, they didn't suffer through monthly reinstalls.
/j!!
But yes, for home users NT Windows came with XP.

2000 was the first Windows with an NT kernel that was really usable on the desktop. Some may argue NT 4 but in 2000 almost everything worked as expected. XP was clearly better of course.
But you're right - ME was actually a successor to 98 and XP was the joint successor to 2000 and ME.

What's so bad about win 11 as an OS? For me it's the most stable windows. Of course the MS crap they want you to include is bs, but that's not really the OS

Easy to have a constant upward trend when you start off in your parents basement…
Windows and even Mac are clearly superior. As shown in the graph eventhough Linux is getting better it never even got close.
I think the way you worded it doesn't make it obvious that you're criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.
That wink was somewhat intended ;) The graphs are the intended primary meaning, but Linux usability has actually been complicated in the past.
I.e. I was unable to get a crappy 300$ Laptop running with Linux as a student (ca. 2016) to be used as a youtube/Netflix machine. But that is way in the past. It worked barely when using Windows and I had the hope to prolong its life with Linux. There were some complicated graphic driver issues.
Linux isn't an upward curve, either. It mostly is, but those krackle-pops have to put a dent in the curve.
