> Ubuntu made this mistake what once? Microsoft is continuing to do and doubling down.
Well, my point was not that they were the same, but that Canonical has engaged in behavior I find unsavory in the past (indeed in my opinion far more unsavory than what Microsoft has done with Windows 11, but that's just my opinion), so I can no longer trust them to engage in this behavior in the future.

The reality I live with is that I still can't connect to my University's wireless network using my Ubuntu machine, but it works fine on Windows and MacOS and has for decades.
> Also, I would point out that you're somewhat drawing a false equivalence since Windows makes both the hardware and software in your Surface.
I've owned machines from all manufacturers you could care to list and even when a HW vendor is trying really really hard to offer the fully integrated, seamless experience that Windows and MacOS offer, they still can't get it right. For instance, the Dell machine I have right now is one of them. Dell has been selling Ubuntu computers for 14 years and they can't get their power setting right.
I love Linux. I use it every day. My job wouldn't be possible without it. My passions wouldn't be possible without it. But we need Windows to not be Linux because honestly Windows is still setting the bar in many regards.
