    It’s a dealbreaker for me. Along with many of MS’s other business decisions.

    But I chose to do something about it by switching to Linux, instead of incessantly bitching and moaning about Windows while still using it.

    Hell, my work laptop is a Surface 7 running Windows 11 Enterprise. But work pays for and manages it, so I don’t worry about it having issues - I just email IT and they handle it. Not my problem. I’d rather spend hours in a bash terminal than deal with Windows on a personal device ever again.

      I am so furious with this at this point.

      And the problem is, I also get what’s going on. You all feel cool and proud and self-actualized with the whole thing where you moved to Linux and whatnot. And you really, really, really want to tell somebody about it. I get it. It’s social media.

      It’s fine the first few times, but it piles up after a while, you know? You can only have somebody veer sharply to the left towards “I use Linux, by the way” so many times.

      Nobody asked if it was a dealbreaker for you. That didn’t happen. And even if someone did it’s not relevant to the conversation we’re having. We know.

      Look, again, it’s not you. It’s just that hanging out around this place and trying to engage with the issues can get to be really weird after a while.

          Look, like I said, it’s not you and it’s not about whether you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me.

          I think at this point I’m just disappointed at the concept of social/user generated media as a whole. Straws and and camels and all that.

            Same here.
