The final straw for me and Windows was when I took the time to remove some annoying feature, cortana or edge, can't remember.

Then an update replaced my work.

It wasnt some 'uninstall program', but a multi-step process that involved registry editing.

I don't feel like I have control over Windows.

I don't know if it's still happening, but for a while windows updates were helpfully "fixing" the EFI boot partition (or maybe it was a boot firmware thing, I never figured it out) by making windows primary and breaking my Linux entry .

My friends would be like "do you want to play games?" and I'd be like "yeah hang on while I make some boot media so I can recover afterwards."

Windows 10 updated my laptop's BIOS and in the process reset it to defaults. This basically bricked my laptop. Yeah I know how to go in and set a boot drive again, but not everyone should have to understand how that works.
