A big hurdle in any technological change is the "power users". People that have learned a lot about the old tech and have to face that knowledge becoming obsolete. And then having to learn a bunch of new things.

The same goes for Windows power users as people who know a lot about fossil fuel powered cars.

I was a Windows power user, but in Windows 10 I can't do anything. People be like "yeah just use group policy..." but I have home edition which worked perfectly in Windows 7/8. I could disable the anti-virus, I could disable the firewall, etc.

Now I borked my Windows 10 because I downloaded some debloat scripts and now it won't update because update service requires the firewall service which I disabled. Fuck it, not booting into it anymore, Linux 5ever.

What did you use in place of the built in firewall?

Nothing, because I'm behind a router

It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.

My router has a firewall. There's no point in double firewalling

There is if one of them doesn't do the job properly.

No, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. Why not 3 firewalls in case two fail?

I'm not allowing programs in two places "just in case" what a ridiculous suggestion
