    Microsoft is constantly experimenting with how far they can push users into a corner and get away with it. There might be a day when Microsoft caves and releases a Windows that is more like what we wanted, but I imagine it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. We have not yet seen the worst MS has to offer force upon us.

      I thought that was going to be with Windows 10’s forced updates and telemetry, but people just stopped caring. I’m pretty much assuming that’ll be the same for the current batch of nonsense. I can’t imagine how bad it would have to get for the general public to say “enough is enough”.

            Pop_OS! and Mint feel very similar to this with their application centers. I feel as though this need could be considered met.

            Though I run arch and if you dont like the CLI you’re gonna hate it. It just depends on the distro you choose.

            Work in progress, it will get there one day.

            But it is good enough for most PC gamers which is attracting a lot of development that makes Linux more friendly.

      Just look at how bad the car industry is now. Your car spies on EVERYTHING.

      Windows can still get a lot worse before we begin to see an improvement.
