I’ll take the liberty to copy a comment from an earlier thread: I don’t really care what OS other people choose. There will probably never be an OS that everyone will love. So my stance is this: Just let people use whatever OS they’re happy and productive with. And where they can find applications they like. IMHO, having a nice selection of applications is just as important as the OS itself. For me, that is a compelling argument in favour of macOS. But if people can find applications they enjoy on Windows and Linux, then bully for them. And when it comes to regular users who just want something that works – then it might be wise to not even use a traditional desktop OS. iOS/iPadOS and Android/Chrome OS are much more user-friendly than Windows/Mac/Linux will ever be.

I care about what OS people choose. I care about other people enough that I don't want them to endure the ads Windows has these days. Or all the other "features" that the major players try to push on people who don't want them. I don't want to give more power to companies who grow large enough to be able to ignore their users needs and wants. That said, I won't take away people's choice. I'm just concerned about their well-being and about this world's future. I'm not saying Linux is the answer. Maybe we're all doomed to be controlled by corporate interests, but I'm not going to be apathetic about it.
