Windows 11 is malware . I’m older than yoda, I used windows all my life. Switched to fucking Mac last year which is shit, but iits not tracking my every move, is arguably not loaded with bloat, and nagging me about my choice of browser.
Apple is still tracking you, they just aren't as donkey-brained as Microsoft.
Yeah, one of things that stood out was how much Apple tries to push signing into account too. And compared to Linux doesn't seem like you can use their App store without logging in on MacOS compared to Linux App Store.
At least I know it’s only Apple tracking me and selling that data to a only handful, premium ad agencies. With Microsoft and Google, I don’t have a faintest idea if any 13 yo bengali kid with fakest company name can bulk purchase my browser history or not.
