  • As true as that may be, what’s the deal with all the times I’ve read stories of people setting up and configuring everything the way they want, and then after installing whatever particular updates manually, then MS reverts a bunch of settings back the way they want?

    I dunno, but when I got my HP laptop that shipped with Windows 10, I got to an initial setup screen that asked me something like what’s my mother’s middle name or maiden name or something like that, for sake of password recovery I believe.

    Even though I’m sure I could have entered in any random nonsense that I’d remember, I was like what effing business is it of the OS to ask such private details?

    I didn’t even finish the setup and first boot, I shut it down right then and formatted and installer Linux Mint MATE 20, and I couldn’t be happier.
