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.

      I agree. I switched to Linux full time a few months ago and there are several things just easier than windows.

      Installing the OS was super simple, I didn’t have to turn off 10 settings that it wanted to sell my info, no keys to type in, no registration or spying, no candy crush and 20 other unwanted programs. I have to customize windows so much to my liking and then an update takes it away.

      I just wish Elgato products had Linux support. I have emailed them a few times to suggest it. Maybe when 10% Linux share or 15%… I’m waiting.

      During the past few months I now have myself, my wife, my uncle, and my dad on Linux!!!
