In favor of what? I still have to use control panel because some things are seemingly unreachable by the "settings" menus.

That's M$ intention, to hide some settings from users and lose control of Windows.

Right, I forgot, MS doesn't want you to have control what programs are doing or how your computer works. Corporate way or....linux.

I may be technologically challenged but Microsoft has been steadily selling me on linux ever since windows 10.

Linux is just straight up easier to use than an unfucked windows.

See, that may be the case. Or it might not be. It's a risk vz reward right now. I am not good with computers and have had my PC, laptop, phone and smart watch, inexplicably break, get stuck on boot and had to have them repaired. I just know my mistakes are easier to screw up my computer and data on linux. So the worse MS gets, the more I am willing to risk it.
