I teach computer science and windows has been the biggest source of problems I’ve had in the last five years: I’ve seen defender delete their programs when compiling them, I’ve seen it delete gcc because it thought it was malware, I’ve seen it do forced updates in the middle of a test, I’ve seen updates break tools like compilers and servers that needed to be reinstalled on a daily basis, I’ve seen onedrive make some of their files inaccessible, I’ve seen updates break their wifi, I’ve seen it take upwards of 10 minutes to log into our AD domain, the list of problems goes on.
These days windows is a piece of shit, especially if you’re a developer. I’m basically forced to have them either install linux or do all their development in wsl, and it fucking sucks.
Again none of those things are the actual OS. They’re all optional features and programs. Every one of those problems can be turned off. Most with simple settings toggles.
I’d expect that kind of thing to be first semester computer science stuff; Setting up your machine as a proper development platform.
I sincerely hope you’re trolling.

You are using GNU development tools, largely targeting non-windows operating systems, on Windows. Just use Linux

He is, it’s painfully obvious. If not from his original comment, then at the very least from his follow-ups to the replies he got
