Microsoft Ruined Windows (www.youtube.com)

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

Switched to full time Arch because I didn't want to run Windows Privacy Invasion Goes to 11. And it's been pretty good. Valve gets a big "thank you" for their contributions to WINE and making gaming on Linux nearly as seamless as Windows.

It's probably still true that "Next year" will be the year of Linux on the desktop, and it will be for several more years to come. But, it's starting to feel like cracks are forming in the Microsoft wall.
