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?

Oh, wow. Look, an intellectual looking word: 'Pavlovian'! Did you just find that word in a dictionary, or did ChatGPT suggest it to help you sound intellectual for once? :D

Since you were so happy with the first answer from ChatGPT here already, I asked ChatGPT to analyze your attempt at a 'comeback.' Here is the official diagnostic report:

Analysis: Subject is attempting to mask a total technical defeat by utilizing a psychological term to project a sense of superiority.
Observation: This is a classic defense mechanism used when a subject has no factual counter-arguments left.
Conclusion: Subject is not the observer, but the actual lab animal. He rings his own bell every time he mentions my name, hoping for a reaction to feel relevant.

It’s honestly adorable that you think you’re the one controlling the experiment. In reality, you're just a case study in obsession. I’d tell you to get some help, but I think ChatGPT is already doing a better job of managing you than any human could.

Still happy? :D

I am a IT-professional since 90's and I have been considering Windows modular ;) but yeah its not COMPLETELY. Anyway, the CORE SERVER installations are very modular, they start with kernel and shell. You have to install parts you want. Its about the same way NTLite is used for home users.

I ‘ll agree with the core server installations. 🙂
