    I built a new PC last year and bought a copy of Windows 11. Holy moly the login process required so much bullshit that I skipped through. It also every few days tries to get me to go through it again. After learning about all the Spyware and other bullshit I decided to just take the plunge back into using Linux as a main OS.

      They were data mining on non subscribing customers tho, in age of AI nowadays, data mining on real living people is good business

      Some very small percentage of people will switch to Linux, the majority of people will just continue to use windows 10.

      I’ve got a computer with a copy of XP on it that still runs. Not connected to the Internet anymore, but it still functions as a computer otherwise.

    Cool, a prime opportunity to scalp even more old machines by the end of the decade once they become valuable.
