Though requires some initial settings, and an hour or two of learning how to operate, update. There are help communities. It is way better than a few years back. I've been running it since about 2016 when Vista went out of support. I am no longer dependent on MS bloatware, and offers to buy AntiVirus, 365, Word. Recently I added an almost new Windows 11 PC, as a portable, but had to disable a pile of things. Added LibreOffice and a generic AV. Good,but when Win11 goes out of support, I'll ditch it for Linux Mint.
