It's like they have a competent team who builds stuff, and then hands it off to the enshittification team who fails (for instance) eliminate the remaining XP-era dialog boxes and fucks around with misfeatures and generally bogging things down.

My favorite is that with the newer settings you can only have a single instance of settings open at a time. From my old help desk and sysadmin days, it was a very regular occurrence for me to have both network settings and printers opened at the same time.

It's not that I've never had issues with Linux that would have been solved by using Windows, but all those issues stem from people making software for Windows rather than Linux, not some inherent issue of Linux itself.

I love Linux, but hard disagree here. FlatPak (or snaps or apparmor or whatever) have fixed the worst of these issues, but Linux made it needlessly hard for non-technical users to install software that wasn't part of your distro's repositories for years. There's even a video of Linus talking to a conference full of distro maintainers about how obnoxious an issue it is.

On Windows, for better or for worse, you can usually just download an executable and run it.

C#/.NET is rock solid, that's about the only one I'd give them credit for.

When my French Canadian grandpa would visit France, the French there would insist that he speak English rather than his filthy degenerate Quebecois French.

In Czech, for loanword verbs at least, they usually just slap -ovat on the end and call it a day. My favorite is "surfovat". Sometimes they'll change the spelling and sometimes not, and it's not even consistently done for some words. I've seen both skateboard and skejtbord used interchangeably.
