Windows 10 is becoming less of an OS and more of a terminal for the MIcrosoft/NSA mainframe. The EULA pretty much confirms this.
So why do I prefer linux mint ?
1) No need to defrag
2) No spying
3) No need for virus checkers
4) Better GUI and more productive. I can add a dock, workspace switching.
5) You can have flugly, you can have xp, you can have mac like. GUI is FLEXIBLE.
6) All software updated centrally.
7) All updates optional and clear as to what they do.
8) Nothing I can't turn off. Result - almost zero idle cpu usage.
9) No Cortana.
10) Its a desktop os and aimed at that market.
