dumped Windows10 and fully using Linux @home

  I have not used Windows 10 at home since this post in October 2017, and I do not miss much in from it.  One thing I do miss is the automated photo uploads to Amazon Drive, which I have also dumped, other than that there is nothing I miss from it.  I also did a photo shoot for a wedding in the family, and even my low end Acer R3-131T laptop dealt with it perfectly.
  I actually had high hopes for the continuous upgrades in Windows 10, but they proved to be illusions.  Ubuntu does better with full version upgrades than Windows 10 deals with it's rolling or continuous upgrades, not to mention OS's like Manjaro linux and Antergos linux where they are always fresh.
  Anyhow, it looks like it's always the case that I end up using linux on my home machines/laptops, there are no real good reasons for me to use Windows, since I do not play games which seem to be the only reason to have a Windows machine.
  For work, I'm getting a Mac OS, it's a better match since I can use Bash, and all the tools needed for my work are available on it.  It's a sable hardware and a matching OS that really just works.  There are times when I would say even a Linux laptop is efficient enough and even better than a windows machine (I've had to re-install my Windows 10 work laptop once because of some profile corruption), but you can't get Linux in an Enterprise environment, unfortunately.
