The only thing really keeping me on Windows now is Visual Studio. I know there are alternatives on Linux but for my particular work, there's no substitute for the actual full pro version of Visual Studio. But this non-stop parade of enshitification of Windows is really making me think about going back to Linux for my daily driver outside of work tasks. I don't want to have to keep up with what privacy invasion Microsoft has cooked up this week and keep track of the current way to opt-out, if that's even possible. Since first installing Slackware in the mid 90s, I've done several multi-year stints with Linux as my desktop OS, so it wouldn't be a completely alien change but in general I've found Windows to be a bit easier day-to-day and gets in the way less. All this AI and snapshotting garbage, on top of the existing telemetry, is adding up to be too much.
