Microsoft's decision to push ai features into their OS got me to remove windows and install Linux this year. After gaming on windows pcs for 30 years, I'm now gaming on Linux and honestly, couldn't be happier.
Edit: Shout out to SteamOS for getting Linux to where it is for gaming, incredible.
Gaming on Strix Halo in Linux is an absolutely amazing experience, even though I have a 4090, just because of how silent and low power it is. Valve and the rest of the Linux infra guys really performed a miracle.
I have a basic music player web app that can run decent on the cheapest android phones. It's buggy but has been pretty solid on my 3k$ pc (lmao).
Yesterday it was so sluggish I had to disable every other app on Windows AND restart AND disable my network (bcus who knows wtf windows is doing in the background). It ran fine (normal) after that.
Windows is so unbearable, my Mac and Linux (former ms) laptop from 6+ years ago operate better than this pc it's driving me up a wall.
MS is literally stealing my pc specs, they don't know wtf they're doing
