"feature updates delayed by 2 years"
You are just delaying the inevitable.
Also as far as I am aware Tiny11 does not remove Windows Store and UWP framework.
You guys really are making everything complicated. On Linux it just works.
People would respond to you far better if you didn't act like your anecdotal experience and opinion are universal and irrefutable fact. Being obnoxious doesn't help discussion, it hurts your point because people don't take you seriously.
Most people are happy to get feature updates sooner or later, and the 2 year delay helps ensure bugs are ironed out (and worst case, any necessary workarounds are found). Do you
know CTT is not able to disable for more than 2 years or is it a guess? I'm pretty sure CTT added a "Disable forever" option when the drive breaking issue happened and CT decided it was time to add it, whereas before he didn't want to be responsible for insecure PCs and didn't feel the need.
No one in this thread is claiming MS are benevolent by any stretch of the imagination, but being mad because UWP and Store are built into a product they make is a bit silly. Not catering an OS designed to be usable by as many people as possible worldwide to the niche lean OS crowd is rather narrow minded. The simple truth is that it's theirs to do with as they please until such a time that higher authorities involve themselves like when the EU didn't like their software monopoly tactics and caused N editions and browser selection. I'm pretty sure that the broad approach is a better approach financially than catering to niche nerds like us. The planet's default OS isn't concerned with pleasing what is at most a couple hundred thousand people when there is no incentive to - the OS currently works. Some just don't like
how it works. The harsh truth is it's a product from a business that doesn't owe anyone but shareholders anything and will only act in the name of profit.
As I and others have already described from experience, Linux does not simply work. Pretending it does is denial unless you're throwing Mint on and only browse the web. The lean piecemeal approach and everything working instantly don't co-exist. The fact that Windows works well enough for 90+% of the world means they're doing enough right.
I'm still going to use Linux as my daily driver at home, and I'm still going to get annoyed every day at work because MS has pulled some new shit trying to push their newer but worse versions of software like Outlook and fucked with default programs because they don't respect user choices. But that doesn't change facts.
