Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn't always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

I dd it the other way around.

Switched to Linux (LDME about 12 months ago) and the things I couldn't do I didn't bother with. I have so many things that interest me I just spend more time on them and found some new stuff.

I was dual booting a few years back because I had a bunch of stuff I couldn't do in Linux and said fcuk it this time. In retrospect I wish I had adopted that philosophy earlier.

Honestly if the answer to the question "how do I do this" is "you can't", then surely you can see the problem with that?
