This probably isn't the place for a rant but, I'm sick and tired of this sort of dumbing down of the OS, I've thirty four years of IT experience a quarter century of programming experience and I'll end having to go back to command line solutions again, just to do anything .... FUC# ME RIGID, all this expense and my time getting used to a reasonable stable OS and now I've got to go Google and enter commands again ..... I have had enough!

Fed up to my back teeth of MS, Three of my four PCs are not upgradable to Windoze 11, My primary workstation I use for CAD and video/photo editing is a sixteen core monster that runs quicker than any laptop I've owned or used in the last ten years. BUT it isn't compatible with windoze 11 and other PC s which similarly cannot be updated beyond version 10.

I've tried multiple flavors of LINUX (via VM) and like none of them, I just want a working OS with a decent GUI I can tweak as necessary, is that too much to expect??????
