Windows has been modular long time ago already. That does not mean the home user gets to enjoy that without using extra tools like NTLite to modify the install.iso. Mostly its turn on/off features. On the server side so called core installs, where you only had cmd-line, were a thing like 15 years ago.

Windows 11 has become increasingly modular in how features and components are delivered and updated, but it remains a largely monolithic operating system rather than a fully modular one. Using tools to strip out components doesn’t make it modular.

Where’s our dear beloved friend Tiles to come and bring balance to the truth? Oh, yeah. He probably only criticizes Linux. He’d probably side with you just to spite me.

Most tech professionals do not consider Windows a “Modular” OS.

Back on your warpath? Imagine being so obsessed with me that you drag my name and a wrong take on Windows modularity into a thread about switching to Linux. Pathetic :D

Quick lesson since you're so desperate: shipping furniture in separate boxes doesn't make the house modular. That's delivery, not architecture. But i guess that's the textbook Linux fanboy in you. Thinking blind loyalty equals expertise and that every bug is a brilliant feature.

Which should answer your question, nope, once again you are simply wrong. Like so often.

Here we are, you asked for a slap, and you got it. Happy now?
