Yeah I installed that one you’re thinking of.

    It’s less the choice paralysis than the insufferable superiority complex. Options are great. Wading through a sea of people who think they’re better than everyone is not.

      Hard disagree. My experience here hasn’t been that anyone thinks they’re better, they just give recommendations based on their preferences. The problem is that everyone has different preferences.

      Which leaves everyone wondering “wtf… There’s too many choices and I’m no closer to a decision after I’ve asked for help than before.”

      Hell… In my case I was given MORE options after asking for help. In the end, that opened my eyes up to options that were better for my use case, but a lot of people just want to be told “use this and be happy”. There’s so much going on in everyone’s day to day that having to put thought into something they just want to work is exhausting.

      That’s what windows gives people. The ability to be happy with what they have and not have to put any thought into it.

      I am, of course, speaking for the majority out there. The people here, generally speaking, won’t be phased by that so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt if it doesn’t apply.

      But yea… Analysis paralysis is 100% a thing and stops people from ever making the leap.
