It took me about two two or three weeks to understand the file system. I haven't looked back since. Now the file system (especially the Registry) in Windows seems weird. Unfortunately I can't get completely out of the Windows world because my wife uses it. She always tries to avoid updates for as long as she can because so many times her computer has crashed when it updated. (Not nearly as much since she upgraded to new computers about two years ago, but her laptop still "blue screens" once or twice a month. And her Bluetooth mouse likes to drop out about once every month. But this is minor compared to her old laptop. Now there's also the Windows 11 nags.

I've read quite a bit of Linux upgrades breaking things. That's nothing unusual. Windows updates break things so much less then Linux. Windows updates don't normally break things.
