Thanks but no, I don’t want to buy a completely new hardware just to change my OS

I do have it on the side with some windows plug in right now.

Thanks, right now I do have w11 and I’m fine with it. I have uninstalled one drive and other bloatware, the thing that is making me want to quit is the potential forced ai shit.

Downgrading to w10 is an escape route that seems the most valid, it feels like asking Linux communities is counter productive, because I specifically don’t want to have my OS be a hobby, but I’m asking OS hobbyists…

If Microsoft goes the way of AI slop, Apple will soon follow so I don’t see that helping me much

how does it make money tho?

they will somehow shift the cost on the consumer and continue on

I’m not a child, gamer nor grandma but last time i tried mint a few years ago i literally cried, so it might be something for me

I’m not very tech savvy and I’m just happy to have an account somewhere lol.

recently found out this is a shunned view on a lot of lemmy

Humans being categorised as not danger is a bit far from them being literally seen as other cats

source? genuinely curious

i know this will be controversial here but both bad. Technological megacorpos and monopolies have too much power.
