Windows has improved a lot in the last 20 years. Windows 11 isn't MS-DOS.
I, and many many others, do not need to update any hardware after upgrades, the last of which was 10 to 11 two years ago. Defender takes care of any viruses and malwares, does Linux never get those? Windows does not UPGRADE monthly, it may UPDATE as does almost every software program, and it can be set to do the update when you are not using your machine.
I like Windows, have tried Linux but cannot get on with it.
