That is fucked.
I'm already starting to transition to full Linux on my devices with the arrival of Windows 11 and Windows 10 reaching end of life in October next year. I never thought I'd see the day of this happening.
Microsoft has been telegraphing these moves for years now tbh.
That doesn't make it right.
And not everyone can dump Windows for Linux. We run a lot of software that requires Windows. Changing is impractical if not impossible.
it's becoming much much easier every year to switch to OSS alternatives or at least Linux compatible software. There's basically nothing categorical that can't run on Linux, even gaming is making tremendous strides.
From a desktop standpoint, I agree. From a business server infrastructure standpoint, I disagree completely. We run tons of software that doesn't run on Linux. Maybe there are alternatives, but there are other aspects in play (integrations with other services, vendor pricing, etc).
It's not just desktops that people worry about.
And that's why any proprietary lock-in is the devil.
Never said it was right, why would you think that?
Depending on what your doing there are alternatives or you could run it in a VM
