But is there any OS to abandon it to? Windows has probably always been spyware, but it’s getting increasingly blatant—and also incompetent and DEI—about it. Apple is, of course, a brand entirely built on the hipster/socjus image, so that’s no alternative. Being fed up with one or both of those two big players is usually the impetus to jump to Linux. Where does one jump from Linux?
The big barrier for Linux is already that it’s infamously filled with the need to troubleshoot to make things work with it, and it’s the third-place player. I can’t imagine that an even more obscure OS would be better in that respect.
MS also sponsors Linux projects, controlled competition is how they get around antitrust laws. This DEI shit definitely helps to prevent such projects from ever becoming the golem that turns on its master, since huge conglomerates like MS can literally afford to deal with the consequences of pozz in a way that OSS dev teams can't.
Linux is getting Occupy-Wallstreeted. Bit by bit the leftist extremist are taking over and anyone with half a brain abandons the sinking ship.

Makes you wonder how much Microsoft funding all those DEI events and initiatives played a role.
