Looks like they're getting a bit nervy that this forced obsolescence might actually push some people away from windows

Windows 11's spying and bloat is what's pushing me away from windows.

Too late in my case. I don't even have a Windows partition any more on my desktop. Haven't for over a year.

Did it for me. I went full tilt to nixos, none of this mint or popos business
