Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.
Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.
I have a PC running Windows 11 Professional that I use exclusively for gaming. It works fine for that and it doesn’t annoy me with OneDrive or Copilot etc.
I’m open to switching to Linux on that machine if Windows starts to annoy me, but as it stands Windows runs all my games without issues and I can’t be arsed messing with things that aren’t broken.
I wouldn’t dream of running Windows on a computer used for anything other than gaming though. Currently I use a Mac as a daily driver, but I’ve also used Linux in the past. The main reason for using macOS is that I spend too much time messing with computers at work to want to do it in my free time too. The Apple ecosystem makes it easy to have everything integrated without much effort. I’m aware it’s probably an unpopular opinion around here.
I’d estimate about a month or two adjustment period of being involved in computer focus depending on what you need to setup.
It can shorten down to weeks if it’s just a basic setup.
After that you’re just booting up and using just like you would with windows or Mac.
Just occasionally gotta open a shell and type dnf update && upgrade to run an update. That’s about the extent of it if you’re going super basic.
