Windows 10 was the last Windows version for me. I'm done. I'm done with the spying, and the ads, and the hidden admin options spread across 5 different locations, and the registry, and the bugs, and the viruses, and just their whole shit show. Linux 4 lyfe.
It's just the spying for me. If it wasn't for the spying and ads then I'd still be a Windows die-hard. If my OS was just an OS then I wouldn't feel the need to switch to Linux
Yeah, the other things are just annoyances. But the ads and the spying are deal breakers for me. They're our fucking computers, not Microsoft's! They've got a lot of fucking nerve thinking they can just shove ads into our native OS. That's literally how adware, which is classified as malware, has been classified for all of Windows history. But now they're doing it themselves? Get fucked, Satya!
