Like 5 years too late for me, I ditched Winslop bit over 4 years ago, never looked back. Yes, it’s not perfect, not everything works out of the box and I have to search for solutions every now and then but it’s My Computer again.

Artists can’t cancel events when there is no events, big brain move right there.

Enshitification of Windows was my reason, I was quite patient, I let it slide when they backported telemetry to Windows 7, Windows 10 was still quite usable but the amount of bloat was getting on my nerves already. When I saw what shitshow 11 is becoming I jumped ship. I’m glad I did it early and didn’t wait for Windows EOL.

I’m waiting for news in couple of days where the same guy finds out that internet knows quite a lot about him too…

Good, megacorps is last thing this world need.

Gentus Linux comes to mind, obscure distro based on Red Hat (not RHEL mind You) released by now forgotten ABIT, a motherboard manufacturer. I was daily driving it as teenager back in 2001 for couple of weeks until I learned by trial and error how to get windows 98 installed back. Another one would be Mandrake Linux which I was dual booting couple years later.
