I switched a few months ago, never ran into any issues. I recommend!

Thanks but no, I don’t want to buy a completely new hardware just to change my OS

Thanks, right now I do have w11 and I’m fine with it. I have uninstalled one drive and other bloatware, the thing that is making me want to quit is the potential forced ai shit.

Downgrading to w10 is an escape route that seems the most valid, it feels like asking Linux communities is counter productive, because I specifically don’t want to have my OS be a hobby, but I’m asking OS hobbyists…

If Microsoft goes the way of AI slop, Apple will soon follow so I don’t see that helping me much

how does it make money tho?

they will somehow shift the cost on the consumer and continue on

I’m not a child, gamer nor grandma but last time i tried mint a few years ago i literally cried, so it might be something for me
