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.

Windows 7 was windows peak.
I don’t know how they fucked up so bad since then.
Well. I know. Capitalism breed innovation, what they don’t say is that it breeds like the european monarchy.
I started daily driving Linux when I built my computer last year because M$ demanded I pay $200 for a new license for software that I had already paid for. Haven’t looked back since, and it’s been a great machine. I run Arch, by the way.
Oh, windows has definitely seen better days in the past. It’s not irony either, it’s just a matter of looking at the amount of “features” nobody asked for that they push onto users anyway. Liked the XP-7 start menu? Too bad, now you’re stuck with whatever. That simple calculator program? Get a load of this UWP style calculator instead! Don’t want auto anti-aliasing with MSPaint’s brush? Fuck you, it’s there and you won’t disable it. Liked Solitaire and Freecell ad-free? HAHA GET REKT
Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.
