@prime It's been a little bit harder for me because I'm a gamer and have had to deal with some annoyances, but in the end I just don't ever want to ever go back. Even if Microsoft suddenly realizes what they've done and the way they screwed over every single one of their users and chased away people who used their software for literal decades and makes a Windows 12 that goes back to XP/7 goodness, it's too late. The bridges are all burned. I will never ever trust Microsoft ever again no matter what they do.

Plus the feeling of actually owning my own blasted PC truly is hard to underestimate. No fighting against systems determined to force stuff on me against my will... (Except systemd FFS.)
