I hate my work laptop lol. Windows truly sucks more than ever now
I think another big problem is that companies tend to install insanely invasive anti-virus and productivity tracking applications on the computer that are constantly sucking up the computer’s resources.
Its so bad. To do the same stuff you did 10 years ago, you need a computer with 4x the specs for Windows 11 + AI chip and everything is a subscription. meanwhile Ive upgraded my linux laptop once and it runs about 10x with the newest of software updates, steam, etc...etc... Libreoffice is much easier to use than MS products now.
The worst part is you cant opt out of windows AI. It sends your data along no matter what.
And no one i ever talk to understands this! Drives me insane haha
Every time that I touch Windows, my doubts about whether I waste my time with Linux immediately get obliterated by reality. Today, I helped someone crop a video, so I opened ClipChamp, a Fisher Price googoogaga pathetic excuse of an attempt at video editing software. The lack of features wasn't even what bothered me most, it was the COOKIE BANNER ON PREINSTALLED GODDAMN SOFTWARE FOR EDITING VIDEOS OFFLINE. If Microsoft actually had to compete with someone else, suicide rates would fall back to pre-industrial levels.
That sounds infuriating.
