Microsoft Ruined Windows (www.youtube.com)

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

Install Linux I have using it on servers and desktop for years, you can start with Pop! OS. Good luck.

Pop! OS is great. I've been using it for about a week now. Very friendly distro for us Windows victims.

Zorin OS it's another good one for recent ex-windows users, but yeah pop os goes smooth.

Here's my vote for Bazzite. If your use case is simple computing and games? I don't know if you can do much better.

Yep it's been over a decade for me now.

Pop os is pretty awesome. Using it now and been gaming just fine. I shouldve made the switch years ago.
