Microsoft Ruined Windows (www.youtube.com)

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

It's the professional software that keeps people off Linux. Particularly software for art, video and music. Not enough of it has Linux versions or Windows versions that run well enough in Linux. And a lot of people are forced to use Windows for work because that's their company's standard and they use all kinds of Windows-specific software.

Linux for gaming and dev work. MacOS for creative tools.
