Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮Windows: forces adverts on you, even though you paid for it.
Linux: free, does not do that.
Thad@gamingonlinux That was pretty much the final straw where I quit using Windows almost entirely.
I've been using Linux as my main for ~20 years, but I used to have a Windows HTPC in the living room for videos and couch gaming. The ads in Win 10 were what finally pushed me into switching that machine to Linux too.
(I still have a couple Windows machines for the few remaining programs I need that don't run on Linux, but there are only a couple of those left.)
@gamingonlinux I have to use Windows at work, and the enterprise version is far less offensive. I don't recall ever seeing the system tray or the file browser nag me to buy more MS shit at work.
Damon L. Wakes@Thad @gamingonlinux Oh, yikes. I haven't used Windows on anything but a work computer for about eight years, and I thought THAT was bad. It's hard to believe that the home version could be worse.
