I haven't personally used windows for a long while. I get to fix my wife's stupid printer, scanner Adobe Acrobat. That's it. I mean this is great! It means that we can just go on with our lives and automatically not be windows savvy anymore! So many benefits! I can just tell all my tech beneficiaries to take a hike or go Linux because I don't know how to fix their dumbass windows! This is going to be great!
- I've been doing that for years. I genuinely do not know how to fix Windows anymore. Took a while for my family and friends to accept since I "work with computers" but now they don't automatically come to me when Windows breaks.
  
  Oh this is good to know that the strategy works because that's what I'm planning to do.
