the switch to linux felt like getting out of an abusive relationship

I still run Windows on a rarely-used old laptop. Every time I use it, it reminds me how much that's true.

Forcing you to reboot to install updates, sometimes interrupting a download or something just because it knows best
Ads creeping in all over the place
More and more "features" you don't want and never asked for
AI being shoved in your face
Surveillance everywhere
Constantly trying to push you to use "Edge" instead of your chosen browser

Linux is not a perfect rose-colored relationship but it's a mature one.
