I use Linux (Ubuntu Mate) at home and Windows 11 at work (care giving at someone's home, helping him do minimal things).

Linux is like a friend, not even awkward at this point.

Windows is like a drunk at a bar, who, half an hour ago, was just talking too loudly but now has started groping you.

In ten years, I can imagine Windows trying to override literally anything someone does on their machine, including the text they type, if MS can imagine profits. Nothing is off the table, why should it be. Nothing stops this.



They bought SwiftKey and now whenever I type a phrase like "I'll do x" the entire word prediction bar is replaced with "add {do x} to Microsoft Todo"

It's such a great and helpful tool that does not make me resentful at all

That's the best analogy I've seen of what modern Windows has become.
