Honestly, the main reason I’m done with Windows isn’t the security concerns or the money, but just how unpleasant it has become to use. I literally feel like it isn’t my computer anymore, what with the bloatware, ads, anticompetitive design, and the condescending way it refers to you as if the Microsoft “team” is updating the OS.
Every reminder of the company honestly makes my blood boil, because it makes it painfully apparent how much it isn’t my tool, but theirs. I just want a tool that proves its worth by its function, not a walking reminder of what “tribe” they want me to be in. Uncharismatic bastards; they’ve always been hollow, but all the money they pour into shoving ads in my face has made me hate consumption more than I enjoy products.
