Completely false, about Windows. There are (debunked) rumors that the next version of Windows will be online only, but it isn't now. And I don't see a trace of promotion in Windows 11. I forget how I disabled that 2 years ago when I installed it, but it wasn't difficult.
Ubuntu, on the other hand, tries to sell me on Ubuntu Pro and Expanded Security Maintenance for Applications every time I log in. But I haven't looked into how to disable it so I won't make a false claim that it's something "you can't remove."
- pedrosbmartins 3y agoWeird, I've been using Ubuntu for quite a few years now, both in my work laptop and personal desktop, and have never even heard the terms "Ubuntu Pro" or "Expanded Security Maintenance for Applications."

And then after that enshittified, they made it so you used to be able to disconnect from the network and use a local account. And now, there's a terminal workaround that must be used now. I will throw shade at Ubuntu, as well. There's a ton of privacy and UX switches you need to flip just to make it your OS. And even then, it's got snap, so who needs it?
