Of course I understand that some people might still depend on Windows for certain applications but if you're still exclusively relying on Windows without at least trying to dual-boot some user-friendly Linux distribution to figure out if your apps/games work with Wine/Proton, I don't know what to tell you. Microsoft will sell you out, they will put even more ads everywhere and there will be a time when they force Recall and cloud-sync on you. They don't care about your privacy or security and they have no incentives to change any of that. If any of that scares you, run. If it doesn't - well, good luck. (goes without saying: If your company laptops preloads Windows or if you're a grandfather just browsing the web sometimes, Linux isn't an option. But if you want to have any privacy in the future, Microsoft is the wrong horse to bet on.)
