Last issue I had with Windows was that I couldn't update because my EFI partition was too small (the partition is created automatically on install). Why do I never get the funny ones?

why does the guy in the meme always looked stoned.
Yes
I’ve never noticed this. Mostly because I basically never close Task Manager. Because programs hanging is common enough that it’s actually useful to have Task Manager open on a separate screen.
On an unrelated note, I must set myself a reminder for tomorrow to give installing Linux another go…
I have mostly abandoned Win for many years (I only have gaming PC where I still have dual boot) Has it really gotten that bad? Every time I boot up Win I am shocked how long this clean PC with only Games installed and high end hardware takes to get ready. But at least it does its job.
On Linux (Kubuntu in my case) I haven't had an issue with hanging software in a long time. Even browsers have become completely stable.
Every Windows machine I’ve ever had just gets slower and slower over time. It takes several years, but after 2-3 years it’s taking ages to do basic tasks. I’m just kind of tired of it at this point.
It's incredible how quick they become when converted to Linux (though I always put light weight Linuxes on old machines, and that may have contributed)
From what I saw about this bug, it's not just that it duplicates the window when closed. You had to have typed "X" into it first and then closing it would cause the duplication behavior.

I didn't even think about if this is negatively impacting security updates. Might have to ditch 10 before the LTSC support ends in 2027.
You can't add AI chatbot to task manager without breaking a few eggs.
