I am writing this post after last night's kerfuffle, just another day of trying to help Windows home users. I happen to be writing this while installing ProSeries on a new computer for one of my clients, which somehow has an installation process that is even worse than Adobe. Thanks Intuit, good job.
The timeline as I sent to my friend last night:
ChatGPT not loading. Turned into the internet basically doesn't load. Turned out 21H1, so that's prob the issue. Downloads ISO through UUP dump. Can't install, needs to increase partition size of system partition. Do it with MiniTool. Bear in mind all over multiple TeamViewer sessions. Finally gets it to install, 3 hours later it's done.
The fact that Microsoft is willing to brick you with BIOS updates but won't automatically change your partition size is beyond me. What rhyme or reason there is for what they are willing to brick your computer with and what they aren't is beyond me.
But at this point, I genuinely believe 99 percent of people I interact with who just live in a browser should just be in Linux. I genuinely believe they will run into fewer bugs, will be more secure, and the computer will just run faster. The amount of software that doesn't work, while large, is miniscule compared to how fucking broken Windows is.
This is besides every single annoyance in just using the OS.
Windows sucks for everyone from noobs to power users, and with almost everything browser-based, you should be on Linux or ChromeOS or, heck, a freaking iPad.
Well, now back to installing 25 versions of ProSeries that are all exactly the same thing but different years, since they are trying to compete with MicroSlop and Adobe.
