As for me, I don’t see any good reason to continue using Windows because M$ forces users to use online accounts.

I’ve been a windows user since the very beginning of my computer journey, I had no interest in Linux, windows met my needs entirely.
I installed Cachy OS rather than upgrade to windows 11. I know a lot of people have either irritating and difficult to solve, to even system breaking issues with Linux, but not me. This shit just works and I don’t miss windows at all.
I mean fuck, you can just run a program called bauh that let’s you find any program you want to install with a simple search and gives you multiple ways to do it. The flatpack install method could not be more friendly to a windows refugee.
Seriously consider trying Linux if you are tired of windows. I was worried enough I just took out the m.2 with my windows install and threw in a new one for Linux, so I could go right back if I wanted, I might burn that SSD.
Even better, if your motherboard has two slots, you can do what I did and simply install Linux on a brand new second M.2, and set that as your default boot drive. I can easily boot Windows if ever needed, which was only ever once or twice, and even better, I can access all my windows files from my Linux install, if I ever realize I want an old screenshot/config file/etc.
Super convenient, and whenever I want that storage back, I’ll simply wipe the Windows drive and call it a day, I haven’t accessed it in months anyway.
