All my internet life is here on Linux Lite, and it does the job perfectly well, but for cad-work I have to use Windows, and I must agree of all the Windows, 7 is the nicest.
From what I've heard of it, Win 10 seems to be more to do with advertising and related "consumer" surveillance (with of course copies of everything going to the permanent databases of the stasi).
There's a lot to be said for the view that most "progress" is profit-driven and of course needless "growth". And don't get me started on Edward Bernays.....
...end of rant.... must go for out a walk.
