02:23 Windows 11 is failing right now
05:20 What's the job of an OS?
06:51 Updates break systems. Often.
10:53 You have to adapt to it
15:14 It's highly intrusive
17:44 Debloating tools don't make it good
20:19 Windows fails at being an OS
21:33 Alternatives are better, but not perfect
27:23 Windows is a sales platform, not an OS
