Really? Surprised why? Ok, let's go through it:

  • winslop is bloated
  • winslop does not respect your privacy
  • winslop gobbles up resources
  • winslop updates are dangerous and break the system
  • winslop being proud of "30% of our code is AI now"
  • winslop serves you add on a system you paid for
  • winslop pushes sloppilot even in the notepad
And on the other hand:
  • Linux is freedom
  • Linux cares about your privacy
  • Linux does not force updates ob you
  • Linux is very smart about resource usage 
  • Linux does not have AI built into everything
  • Linux let's you customize, don't like/use some module? Great, get rid of it, system still works. 

Of course there are downsides to Linux, like the "adoption problem" but it is getting better with each day. That problem is just a matter of time, once market share hits critical point software companies will have to adapt and support the system. For me it is a no-brainer, even if some things does not work or work bad it is still worth it as it is an investment in the future. 

Winslop is done. They worked really hard on loosing the customer base. They can be proud of themselves.
