Don't get mad, just stop using Windows.

  Just as soon as the tools I use run on Linux or Macs come down in price.

    I get the best of both worlds and use both. Windows has no place on my home computer. Im not gaming so Im good

      I'm not sure how that addresses the comment you replied to.

    Wine? Virtual machines?
    • Kye 5y ago
      Nope.
      • CarelessExpert 5y ago
        Just curious, why? Performance reasons? Compatibility? Something else? Speaking for myself, I run Linux on the desktop and Windows in a VM for office applications and so forth and it works fine. But obviously I'm not running Photoshop or gaming or anything like that (though in the case of the latter, Proton is already great and is poised to get even better)...

          Just no pressing need. I don't have any problems with Windows, and trying to get everything working in Wine or virtualization introduces more updates and new problems.

    Macs aren't any better in this sense. If you plan to move off Windows then go for Linux otherwise you are just replacing one dictator with another.

      Macs still give the user full control over Software Update. There is a setting for "Install system data files and security updates" and if you turn it off, even critical security updates will not be installed.
