    This is insanely good and mimics my personal experience of Windows these days. I literally say "pop-up! pop-up! pop-up!" out loud during a normal workday where one pop-up or prompt is rapidly replaced by another. Same app or different, doesn't matter, there's always something trying to grab attention on a Windows desktop unless you configure the hell out of it (and even that is no longer enough).

    My favorite "joke" from this site:

    > Scan complete: 1 threat found — ChromeSetup.exe

    FWIW, I switched to Fedora in January and have no plans to look back. Only $dayjob relies on Windows anymore.

      What WM/DE do you use? As much as I find Windows annoying sometimes, I haven't found anything for linux that feels as polished.

        I've been using KDE for the last few years, it's been the most familiar experience.
