I’m not at all interested to be regarded as a Linux user just because “Windows is bad”. It reminds me of all the ex-<insert religion/ideology>-crowd that somehow continues to identify themselves by their past affiliations. I don’t think that’s a healthy place to be in.
Truthfully, I don’t hate windows that much. I do use Linux because my hardware is unreasonably old, and it’s much easier for dev stuff. Windows is honestly usable for me after fiddling with a few settings
Windows user since… windows existed, and I still use Windows (10, LTSC IoT) on my game machines and as a dual boot on most machines I have. I refuse to ever touch 11, and 10 home is a nightmare right now. With zero exaggeration, windows is now fully spyware, with built-in abilities to easily become ransomware to any standard user. It’s WILD how horrible it’s gotten.
Gotta say though, 10 LTSC IoT is still pretty solid. Still need to debloat (thank you OOSU!) and change all sorts of settings with gpedit, registry tweaks, OpenShell, and various other stuff which sucks… but hey. It looks like windows 7 now, performs better than 7, and has all of the bullshit stripped out.
Wish it was easier for your average user to do it that way, but you can’t even buy a computer off the shelf and use it without making a Microsoft account now! Bonkers.
Can’t we focus on why/how Linux rocks instead?

Yeah, but 11 blows
