Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.

    • Microsoft recall.
    • Ads in software you paid for.
    • Inability to use local accounts ( they’re closing the workarounds ) or dark patterns to switch you to one if you do have a local one
    • bit locker forking you over

    Edit: shoving AI down your throat

    And this all besides all the other already present points to shit on Microsoft like the data collection

      And any reasons a non-techie person would care?

      • They wouldn’t know recall exists, so wouldn’t mind it
      • They get ads everywhere so they are used to it
      • They don’t know the difference between a Microsoft account and a local account
      • They wouldn’t know bitlocker is active, and when their old computer dies, they switch over and OneDrive gives them all their family pictures back so they see no problem.
