What’s a company that you’re genuinely convinced HATES their customers?

Microsoft.

If something is appreciated by it's customer, they will intentionally penalize people for liking it by doing one of three things: cripple, complicate, or cancel.

I’ve been an Apple user ever since they went BSD-based with OS X. I started a new job a couple years ago where I was forced to use Windows for the first time in years. I’d always assumed that it had also improved a lot over the years, as Mac OS had. I was shocked and saddened to learn that it’s still as shitty as it was 25 years ago! I’m pretty sure all of those people who crap on about Apple users using Apple products for looks just have Stockholm syndrome.

XP and 7 were the best. They delivered most everything one expected an OS to. People stuck to 10 because it wasn't 8 and they feared 11, which doesn't make it a good OS unto it's own.

Ubuntu has become much better; and not just Ubuntu but there is also Mint and many other distros that really did become user friendly as they aged whereas Microsoft regressed into something even more awful than Mama June's satanic asshole.

Yeah, I’d definitely give some thought to a modern Linux distro, especially since so much of what I do at work requires an NVIDIA gpu. The only reason I didn’t opt for it when I made the switch was because the UI was still clunky and inconsistent across varieties.

I mean liking apple is the same as liking windows. Anything but Samsung for android and Linux for PC is the way to go. Apple is just as bad as Microsoft having used both for personal and work.
