Windows 10 is filled with shit decisions too. And it won't be supported much longer anyway. If you want to keep using Windows, but not 11, it's going to be advisable that you use it offline only.

You're right on all counts.

And I am not happy about about any of this.

Of yeah, and then there is this: Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025

Hope FTC does something before this deadline hits.

Amazing how Windows die-hards will go to literally any lengths not to switch to Linux.

The moment Adobe Creative Cloud works on Linux, I'll switch. Until then I'll have to stick with Windows.
