At least you're self aware heh

Nah, I see your point. Just wanted to make a joke, I didn't even know that it'll start a whole discussion.

Yeah. You're getting menus to buy Office 365 and Gamepass in Settings. Stuff like that. That's not the main reason I'm not using Windows, but it's a small brick in the wall. Of course, everyone can use whatever makes them happy. I like having things to be setted up for my personal usecases, so I'm using Linux.

I thought that the sub OP was complaining about pro-Linux memes and just posts complaining/making fun of Windows. Also, no, it's not just an EU thing. Windows 10 displays ads in start menu, 11 is a little bit better when it comes to taskbar, but they're advertising in settings and other places. Also, a lot of telemetry and bloatware. Requiring to login, to create an account is a deal braker for me too. It's not a bad OS, but not good either. It has a good software support, so you don't need to use stuff like Wine or Proton, to run some apps/games(and some apps don't work even with Wine, because of the DRMs), so I still have a VM inside my Artix with Windows(debloated, tho).

Have you heard about linuxmemes?

Hating Windows is not political, it's more of a philosophical issue. One can simply choose to live happier with a system that is configured by him, for him, and doesn't throw ads everywhere.

Yeah. It'd make things a lot easier. Today I made a mistake and got into a discussion with the tankies from hexbear. Don't recommend. Will call you a nazi for not agreeing with their every statement.

Edit: Not all of them of course. Tho, I'd say that the most uses ad personam as an ultimate argument.

Oh, yeah. For the record, the one from 2012, not 2013. One is horrible, the other one is even worse.

Unfortunately, but I do not have the slightest idea.

Nah, there is just no joke here. It's just saying "US bad" in the most unfunny way. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't agree, but it's just not funny.

LibreWolf, since I don't want to harden the FireFox on every of my devices. I use it with extensions like Temporary Containers, uBlock, ClearURLs, Canvas Blocker and a few more. And Mull for mobile, since it's the only hardened version of FireFox on F-Droid(AFAIK).
