I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me.

@ruario helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @Vivaldi installs.
That is a must for me as I test a lot of builds at the same time.

@jon The moment we stopped being paying customers and became nothing but the product, while still paying for our licenses, is when M$ shot themselves squarely in the foot.

They aren't even offering a paid opt out with some "pay 50 extra for full control over my own machine" version of windows. Even on *pro* versions there is only so much you can do with 3rd party tools+group policies.

Forcing "ai" down our throats isn't helping either.
