Comment on Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage
RiQuY@lemm.ee 5 months agoPeople is actively opting to use a shitty OS like Windows. The easiest solution is using another OS.
I hate saying this but at this point MacOS is even better in that regard, but my preferred choice is GNU/Linux.
Obviously, in your personal computer you have the freedom to choose an OS that fits your needs, in a enterprise/work enviroment this is harder because the company using Windows is the one who should consider changing the OS to avoid this shit, if possible.

Most people are actually passively opting for Windows.
Computers just come with it, or if somebody install it for them, Windows is the default expectation.
MacOS comes with very expensive Apple computers, and most people just choose Windows. The idea of Linux either never crosses their mind, they may not be aware of its existence, or think it’s some geeky server thing.
Most people opting for Windows, thereby, don’t make a rational decision between Windows, Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD or whatever. For them, Windows is just how computer works.

It’s like back in the day when everyone used Internet Explorer for their web browser. There’s little to nothing in the marketplace indicating to them that an alternative exists in the first place, let alone that they could switch to it.
