It’s fucking bloated - 50-55% of codebase is legacy code that has been added before decades ago and left unchanged since then. 30-35% code is bloatware, ads, spyware telemetry and AI non-sense. Only 10-12% is actual code for OS

Ads everywhere - In start menu, in taskbar, in login screen, in file explorer. Basicly everywhere! Pushing you intrusive ads to buy crap you don’t needed.

Doesn’t give a shit about privacy - Seeding 1000+ trackers on your system. Tracking every your move such as which apps you used, basicly EVERYTHING! And disabling in so hard, You have literally damage your system stability because it baked into system files!

AI non-sense - More spyware, ads and crapwarw with AI. Windows Recall going to screenlog you now! Copilot going to show you more ads! And more system usage and storage size thanks to AI bloatware

It’s so slowwwww - Ads, spyware and bloatware will ensure that you’ll have the slowest and laggy as much as possible!

Wants to kill old hardware - System requirements are fucking insane and bloatware increases system usage for no reason.

UI sucks - Old UI from Windows XP and UWP really sucks and bullcrap. Can’t even customize UI unless you change few registery for tiny UI change.

Cares only their shareholders, not users - These shareholders pour billions to M$ and M$ listens them to statisfty them. And extra money from enshittified experince on Windows.

Doesn’t know what is freedom - Read Windows’ TOS. It says that by buying our shit you only get license to use it. It means Windows owned by Micro$oft and can whenever they want whenever you like or not

There’s hundreds of reason. But just know WIndows is a dog shit and deserves to be flushed into skibidi toilet.

IT’S TIME TO SWITCH TO LINUX!!!

That is all

    Steam is available and runs great. Valve has really put an insane amount of work into making Linux gaming smooth and painless. They have their own flatpak equivalent called pressure-vessel that steam uses by default, and everything that steam supports in Windows is 100% supported in Linux as well. If you check out protondb.com you can put in your steam account name and it will scan it and tell you any games in your library that will have issues in Linux, but outside of a few of the competitive shooters that have super aggressive anti-cheat generally everything either works out of the box, or after some minor tweaks (typically adding a few launch parameters).

    Additionally, there’s an excellent unified launcher called Heroic that lets you connect with and use the GOG, Epic, and Amazon Gaming stores, and provides a convenient wrapper around Wine/Proton for actually running the games.

    Finally there’s another launcher called Lutris that a lot of people swear by and supports some of the less used stores like Itch.io, although when I tried it recently I ran into some problems getting it to work.
