    At risk of sounding like an insufferable individual, I’ve completely had my fill of Microsoft. I’ll have to still use it at work, but I’m transitioning everything into Linux.

    What finally made me make this decision is when I read about Microsoft’s vision to make the Windows OS completely cloud-based.

    I’ve also had to fight with Windows 10 so much just not to be redirected into Edge, show me unwanted promotions, or, worst of all, restart my machine without my deliberate consent and in spite of making registry edits (If I leave my computer on overnight, there’s a reason, I don’t care if it’s “inactive hours” or whatever they want to call it.)

    Whatever I miss out on by using Linux just isn’t worth the hassle anymore.

      I have roughly 30 computers and I’ve migrated all but one over to Linux. Never been happier!

      Also I’m able to run 10 year old hardware and thoroughly spank brand new stuff that’s got Windoze11.

        The first device I installed Linux on is an old gaming laptop that was so slow that I almost disposed of it. It’s like a new machine now. I’m not sure why, but it just never ran well with Windows for some reason.

      For when you have to use windows, run Aveyo’s edge remover and install msedgeredirect.
