windows rant

Just why is windows being so shit? Like how is the default state in which an OS should function ever?
Story time: I have two devices flying around here. An old laptop and a newer tablet (librem 11). I use them for different things. The laptop is now relegated as a des "desktop"-replacement thingie. Just sitting on my desk all day being hooked up to a monitor keyboard and mouse.
the librem 11 is for taking to uni mostly, since I found it to be kinda lacking for home use. (Its just missing some ompf sometimes taking a tad too long for stuff).
The librem 11 obviously runs linux. But on the laptop I have windows installed atm, since its just way easier to use for my online courses (with stuff like zoom and webex, which I know run in a browser but ...)
The laptop also runs windows so I have easy access to adobe digital editions when needed (and can strip the DRM easily
)
I was using the laptop the last few days to do some work ("translating" some stuff for the konosuba TRPG). I was doing some work on that today and decided to take a break and eat something. I just put the thing into stand-by and left the lid open. (should have just closed it tbh)
The laptop was making some noises here and there. I thought maybe some notif from discord or fedi.
What it actually likely was is windows telling me it will start doing updates soon. I know this is a setting you can change, but I clearly did not do that yet...
Anyway that sucker then rebooted without prompt. Obvs. closing my document. Good thing that LibreOffice is an actual chad just saves so much headache when restoring stuff. I also am very paranoid and save often.
Good thing the bigger SSD should come tomorrow so I can just dual boot that sucker.
