Malware isnt even the worst part about windows by far these days. Windows is essentially a downloadable telemetry engine; a spyware go-kart with a login screen. When its not cosplaying a mall kiosk barker, flogging various wares and useless dreck its curated through your complacent surveillance, its gaslighting you like a toxic ex into thinking you dont "need" a new browser because this ones better and good and okay. When its time for an upgrade, you'd better hope you have hardware for it because Redmond will expend the same tireless energy gaslighting you about your 'obsolete' 5 year old PC thats performing just fine as it spends reminding you to check out its ghost town app-store and microtransaction rodeo. Oh and did you somehow manage to install chrome? sorry but most of your apps wont remember that preference for longer than it takes Microsoft to find out you had an opinion that wasnt approved by the marketing department.
Windows is like a zombie clown at a haunted carnival, shambling from booth to booth just long enough to offend by its very presence before it shuffles off back to big top corporate america, arguably the only place it still exists to an audience of appreciative patrons at all.
I bootcamped Windows for the first time since 8, its unimaginable how miserable the experience is. Its genuinely disgusting, my desktop feels like a Subway station with shitty ambulance chaser ads and Graffiti spread all over it.
Its remarkable how many button combinations lead to a popup telling you to use a different Microsoft product you don't need. I can't believe its gotten this bad.
We need a Windows alternative for the average consumer.
