Sluggish UI, dark patterns, OS rebooting when it feels like it, OS waking up during the night for some shenanigans, surveillance, nagging, ads... I don't know how people can have so little self-respect to use windows. Feels like living in a rental apartment with a creep landlord, while with linux you own the house.

Yeah, that's a good analogy! And it captures how you have that freedom, but also the onus is on you to take care of things :-) Of course, that's part of the fun of both.

I'm definitely using that metaphor from now on. What a perfect encapsulation of the issues for non-technical people.
