I had a lady at work the other day that had 3 different versions of Outlook and she opened the 2 of the 3 that just don't work. An update replaced the desktop shortcut and added a new worse version.

And yet people think Linux (mint) is so hard to use and absolutely no replacement for windows.

Linux: go to app store, click install. Done

Windows: go to app store, click install done.

Literally the same process, only Linux doesn't randomly update your apps and make them crash. My windows installation at work literally had 3 outlook variants at some point (just like you mentioned) and none of them worked.

I literally never was forced to use the terminal in Linux (well I did but not because I had to) and in windows I have to do shitty things in the register to get back functions (like that terrible decision to hide the "refresh" in the context menu).

I genuinely think MS has gone down the enshittification route and I'm not just preaching to the choir. I have every day (sadly have to use it at work) annoyances with windows and Linux just works..
