Another Windows update failure, or Why I suggest Linux or Chrome OS for a secure computer

It seems to happen a lot. Microsoft released a new update, and it broke many installations of Windows 10.

This isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last. Britec has a video about it, with some commentary.

It's unfortunate that so many people depend on Microsoft Windows. Every version of Windows has had too mamy problems. Not every version is as bad as Windows ME or Windows Vista, but they have all had their share is issues. Windows 10 continues to have them.

If you have a Windows 10 computer, and will have to replace it to run Windows 11, consider switching to Linux or Chrome OS. For most people, Chrome OS would be a good choice, as it is secure -- something that Windows tries to be and gloriously fails time and time again. The privacy concerns I have about Chrome OS are real, but they are not as bad as Windows in that regard. Linux is much more privacy friendly and is secure, but Chrome OS is a good middle ground, keeping the security part, and better at privacy than Microsot.

Sure, Mac OS is an option, and the operating system is great, the computers are well built, and they are easy to use. But the cost is great. For a cheaper secure alternative, Linux and Chrome OS are good options. And of those two, Chrome OS is easier to use.

My Streaming Life does sometimes involve using a computer. Windows can be nightmare at times. That's why I like the alternatives.
