Personally I also would not quit/back out just from that, but “it’s not my machine” misses the point, IMO. It’s a device I’m expected to use ~40 hours a week. Windows fucking sucks. Using that trash for half of my waking hours sucks. Been there, done that, I hope to hell I never have to again.

You're being paid to use the trash though

The fuck are you doing in it?

I’m a software engineer and we use windows. 90% of my day is spent in Visual Studio Professional. The rest is split between chrome, outlook, teams, postman, and SQL server management studio.

I literally never go to the start menu. I have shortcut icons on the bar for everything I need.

In my experience with windows there's just a slight lagginess everywhere. I've had full gaming PCs still feel laggy just in Vscode. It's not bad but it's a small pain point that I don't want to experience for 40 hours a week.
