They have had hands down the best accessibility in desktop markets for 20 years, no contest. Overwhelming market share for many assistive techs. Which is why I’m absolutely livid at them now. If they break Windows I have nowhere else to go. Garbage people making garbage choices.
If you really need Windows, then there is Windows 10/11 Internet of Things, Long Term Servicing Edition.
It's Windows, for enterprises, without any of the bloat they force upon consumers normally.
It doesn't even come with the Windows store, but that is trivial to reinstall, like only a single powershell command.
yeah I'm passingly familiar with some of it (and also with how it compares on other platforms, in part because of having to touch the sharp edges there occasionally), and I can entirely understand your position
and it's also not just the OS - it's everything else built on that that you use and depend on
I'm hoping this mania can end sooner rather than later, so we can get things everywhere back onto a path that isn't this fucking batshit
