Windows: the NSA is going to be able to access your computer if they want. You have to explicitly opt out of data collection for advertising in the windows 10 setup. Linux: There is still data collection in chrome(ium) but not like windows. Typing stuff into the start menu doesn’t automatically try and hit their hot garbage search engine that they want to trick you into using (bing) and setting as default. Windows is a service, they literally say this in their update dialogs. Your eyeballs are the product to be sold at a price depending upon age/sex/race/location/income for a calculated price to Microsoft’s advertising “partners” to make them money. This is also agreed to in their terms and conditions and set as default when setting up windows 10. With that said lots of people grew up with Windows and excel and vscode, probably why it’s so popular.
