They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.
Obligatory Linux plug.

I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.
I dunno, I'd eat Costco hot dogs all day every day.
Preach, brother. I wouldn't live long, but I'd finally live happy
They really do have outstanding tubesteaks

Microsoft wants everyone to suffer. Even the smarter windows users.
You would think they make enough on their corporate licenses to cover the cost of home users and whatever piracy still exists.
There’s no such thing as enough in this capitalist wasteland.
Gotta chase that perpetual growth.
I was sucker back then as I paid for a home license for $165 cad though I rectified the mistake by donating more to Linux projects all together
Same, I bought 7 and 10 but have since put more into Debian, Wikipedia, Archive.org and some other projects than I will ever spend again on a Windows license.
Office is what pays the bills. Everything else is icing on top.
Smartest users are already using OpenShell and don't have anything to fear, at least from this change... for now...
Linux is free btw
Every day that passes, I feel more validated in my decision to no longer use their OS.
God damnit. I have a W10 drive left because SteamVR is still a little clunky on Debian.
I really hope valve comes out with a new release of SteamOS for desktops, the Steam Deck version is damned near flawless.
There's been a lot of positive buzz about Bazzite.
I'll have to look again, I thought it was abandoned.

Thank you kindley Microsoft, It is what I crave! I need it like the Microplastics I got installed in my ballsack.
Linux looks more and more like the better choice. Some more reasons here despite the ad annoyance: https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-linux-good-gaming/
I think the various debloat scripts (Chris Titus etc.) should take care of this.
Obviously this remedy is just harm reduction.
Going forward I will be maining various Linux distros and using Wine/Proton compatibility, or TinyWin10 on a VM, for any tasks that absolutely require Windows.
May I interest you with Ameliorated?
I checked the website, so it's like a micro scripted app compilation?? Does the thing is a run/tweak then close, or does it needs to reside as a background service/task?
You start with a fresh Windows install and run the playbook on it. It's practically a one time script
Geez, MS, it's a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It's such shit ad real estate you're just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing
Ahh loves me some classic shell
At least I could install Windows 10 in QEMU. I think I'll go back to Win7 for VMs then.
And i just switched my last windows 10 machine to linux 🫡🖕
