I was almost convinced when I set up my kid’s new gaming pc and had to spend an hour updating and then debloating the installation and turning off all the advertising and telemetry. Then, a week later I saw an ad for Tik Tok in my own Start Menu. That was what made me finally move over to Linux completely.

That said, I cannot imagine being on Windows by choice at this point. In 2024 Id rather be on macOS than Windows if forced to choose between the two.
