There's a lot of talk about switching to Linux (I use Arch, BTW) but for anyone looking for a new computer, macs are going to look real good. Still user friendly, excellent build quality, and Unix core. A Mac mini can be had for about 500 bucks. I've got an M2 MacBook Pro from work and I am super happy with it. Limited gaming tho, but I got a steamdeck for that.
Mac is a lot easier to get started with, so absolutely. The downside is that people get pulled into the ecosystem of apple, with specific chargers, keyboards, adapters... Many of my friends use macs and they also start to buy iPhones and other apple gear.

Im so glad I switched fully to Linux. I used to dual-boot, but my Windows partition broke so I stick with Linux. Only regret is why I didnt do it years ago.

They see a pile of cash and can't resist. The only way it'll truly stop is if users boycott everytime they try to bring it back, which will be neverending.
Reading MS description of Recall, I am struggling to come up with a scenario where it would be any use. Sounds like the backspace button would work almost as well at a fraction of the resources needed.

You get to drink from the fire hose!!!
Switching to Linux would be difficult, when I'm the only one in team willing to change.
People feel comfy as it is and don't feel a need to change. They say it requires "extra work".
And still they do all that extra work repeatedly when windows changes or breaks something. Guess it's just not annoying enough each time...
If it was listed incorrectly as a feature that could be turned on or off and it was a bug, then the bugfix would seem to be making it listed correctly as a feature that can be turned on or off.

"...can't be uninstalled..."
Well sure it can, you just have to switch to Linux!
Just finally switched my gaming PC to Linux mint. It works flawlessly. I can even re-use the steam game files I downloaded on Windows. Never going back.

You can probably disable it with a custom install, like Cortana
Ok, has anyone got DCS World on VR working on Linux? I really want to ditch my Windows gaming machine, I already don't use it for anything serious, but this is getting ridiculous.
