Let's start saying that my adventure with Windows started with the amazing Windows ME when I wan like 5 or 6 years old.
Since that I have always used Windows: ME, XP, Vista, Seven (7), 8, 8.1, 10 and 10 Insider Preview.

My experience of Windows 10 is almost the same as the first time with Windows 7, an amazing operation system that is still developing into a better one. Windows 10 did a lot of changes that break sometime the backforward compatibility with specific software but... you can't get binded to a 10 year old software.

I run different PCs with different Windows 10 editions: my main laptop runs a Windows 10 Home (all the developing related feature as available here, I just miss docker BUT I can still use it under WSL2 and use native docker implementation... it is a win-win situation).

My old laptop runs Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview, I am an insider and I like to test out the new feature, you maybe don't know but Windows is going to get soon a Windows Explorer integration with WSL (Linux!).

Windows 10 embed-driver suite is amazing, just like Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. Almost every old and "generic" piece of hardware is "plug" and "play" (it is a joke of word, not all the hardware is capable of hotplug, but I mean you don't need to search for a driver).
On the first release of Windows 10 there was a issue with Windows Update that automatically downloads and installs the driver but it has been resolved and now driver download is an optional task inside Windows Update.

Windows 10 loses against Windows 7 for only one aspect: the graphics, I mean Windows 10 fluent design is amazing but it is still incomplete, it is not applied system-wide but Microsoft is improving it release after release. Look at the new look and feel of the Start Menu of Windows 10 20H2 (Windows 10 version 2009). The compatibily with Fluent Design is related to the WDDM driver but the same problem occured also with Windows 7 Aero style.

So far I am good with Windows 10 because it is an amazing operation system, regarding multimedia usage it can play almost every format of file, something that Linux sometime misses due to codec issue (they are not GPL so they are often missing into the system). With the latest releases Windows 10 became a very good system for developer, WSL2 is an amazing feature that allow to use the best of Windows and the best of Linux without using a dual boot or a virtual machine (WSL2 is a virtual machine but its integration with Windows is amazing, I mean on your Virtualization software you need to setup manually the shared folders but WSL2 doesn't need it).
