Ditto. Fifteen minutes tops to install, disable Caps-Lock, I'm good to go. Everything - including printers - Just Works. Upgrades don't break things.

My work isn't tied to Windows or Mac specific software, and LibreOffice and GIMP handle what I need.

I think my latest refurbed Dell laptop is four or five years old and still running the original install.

And of course the UI is basically classic Windows so everything is where I expect it to be.

After years of battling Windows and Mac OSs there's something really nice about ignoring your computer and just getting stuff done.
