Once a week or so I have one of my friends go "so why do you not just use windows again?"
Strangely enough, because I'm finding it to be more stable than Windows.
My work laptop has the Bluetooth or Internet service just cut out without any explanation. The first reboot doesn't fix it, but for some reason the second does 🤷♀️
I wish Microsoft would just sell a stripped down customizable windows.
If they want to cut into the growing Linux market share, all they need to do is give a real option for Linux users. Imagine if Windows allowed Desktop Environments to be innsatlled over too.
It reminds me of YouTube premium. Like, I'd happily pay for Premium and support the creators I watch, but that won't stop Google from scraping all of may data and selling it on top of my payment.
These companies know they will always make more from ad sales and telemetry than making a good product and selling it.
