  Good for you! Why demonize people who are though?

    I don’t know, you should ask the people that are doing that.

  Ok, cool. Some people are. This is a quick list of some popular reasons why people might have not be able to just run Linux.

    I’d probably play BF6 and I do enjoy Apex Legends, but not enough to run Windows. Photoshop is great, but GIMP meets my non-professional needs. I’m not an engineer so AutoCAD isn’t a professional requirement and I can fix 3d prints or plan landscaping in freecad.

    But, I can’t make Micrsoft stop enabling telemetry on my computer, inserting ads in my start menu or giving AI access to my entire system. I know there are tools to disable these things, I used them. I know the workaround to make local users, I know how to remove the AI integrations, I know how to use group policy to prevent the re-enabling of some items.

    I don’t want to have to fight my computer in order to use it. I want it to do exactly what I want and nothing else. Linux lets me do it and that is more important than a few FPSs

    Everyone gets to make that choice. Well, except the people who can’t upgrade to Windows 11… for them it’s Linux or joining a botnet at some time in the near future.

      So Windows 11 is just Windows 10 except everything is Edge.
