Windows Update Mimics Malware

That's a good point. Linux might not even be a solution, but just trading one issue for one or more other issues - waste of time just to end up right back where you started from.

If anyone wants a machine for common things like word processing, email, games (but maybe not a specific one), etc. Linux is better than old windows versions.  They can even customize it to look and act like windows version of their choice - mostly.

if they have specialized use case such as specific game or app they might still be ok such as ditch adobe and use divinci for video editing.

some things are even better such as server and coding from what I hear.

it is a learning curve, and each instal has unique issues that come up.

it is the point it can be a daily driver.
