The pop-ups on my desktop are the driving force behind me finally looking into Linux.
Between that, the installation of programs like HP smart, copilot, and Dev Home without my consent. OneDrive being trash. Start menu being slow ever since they deployed copilot even with it shut off. All the tricks to get you to run Edge. The list just keeps growing.
The notifications to get you to change notification settings on a program like Microsoft to-do not being run in a while just take the cake. I’ll run my apps if and when I want to. STFU M$. I pay you for an operating system to run my computer. Not to fight with it constantly.
Linux is easier than windows now. Not because Linux got easier (it did, though not enough), but because windows is just getting so much worse so fucking fast.
That's hilariously so true. Have been completely comfortable using Linux as a primary OS, in my case, I decided, "well Windows 10 was pretty johnny on the spot, so maybe I'll use Windows 11 for a spell." 10 was mostly usable, then 11 was "hey we have this always-update model of 10 in place, let's make 11 all about constant dark pattern pushes?" May literally be the last time I use or ever recommend the platform in any capacity.
Not even talking about how W11 can't successfully sleep or hibernate on most computers I've seen it on. I was in a computer shop helping someone pick out a laptop a while back, local place. They configured all the PC laptops to never sleep because Windows 11 sleep is so buggy. How is it 2024 and Windows is worse at sleep than it was in 2001?
Because capitalism wants everything to be broken so we need to pay for more shit.
just that?
Everyone has a breaking point, it's always better to embrace them when they reach it.
Of course not just that but it's the last straw.
