Honestly, between the telemetry data collection, the strange hardware requirements, advertisements, bloatware, and unknown future licensing model, Linux is looking like an attractive option. At this point, I only use Windows for Office and gaming, and Linux + Proton has gotten really good lately. I don't see a reason to use Windows on my personal machine any more.

We don't use the word "Spyware" like we did twenty years ago. It's baked into Windows now.

This needs to be a “this is her now. Feel old yet?” meme.
