Samsung and Xiaomi apps on their factory defaults are mostly fine, update them once and suddenly you have ads flashing after every 2 interactions with your phone

    Feels like a lot of programs that I use. It is like, if they’re still working as is and nothing is happening to them, why bother?

    But specifically, my pick is Windows. I have the most lapsed way of handling Windows OSes over the years.

    I was on Windows 98 and it lasted until roughly mid-2000s did I finally get on Windows XP. Didn’t touch Vista. Didn’t touch 7. Got into Windows 8 mid-2010s after buying a friend’s PC. Didn’t get on Windows 10 until a few years ago. Not going to touch Windows 11.

      Get win10 LTSC iot. Have to reinstall, not sure you can just convert, but will help if you don’t want Linux. LTSC iot is good til 2032 I think.
