Who is windows for anymore now that you can run games on Linux?

I can’t take an OS with ads seriously. It’s a fucking joke. And any business that uses it is a joke, too.

Just a vector for malware.

I still don’t understand this. I’ve never, ever, seems an ad on Microsoft. Is it an EU thing? Finland thing? Why is it?
Windows 11 Shows Start Menu Ads Now: Here’s How to Turn Them Off

Ads are annoying.

How-To Geek
Admittedly the fact that they are ads is hidden better than most websites would. Recommended apps in the start menu. The truckload of things you have to decline on install like an Office subscription, Game Pass, etc. The settings app will occasionally have pop ups that remind you that you have a free trial. There are pop ups that cover the entire OS reminding you to “finish setting up your PC” with no option to say no.
Nope, none of these.
