Windows 11 was the last straw that made me switch my day-to-day computer from a Windows laptop to a MacBook. Unfortunately, I still have to use a Windows desktop for some limited purposes (mainly gaming and computationally intense activities that I cannot do on my laptop) but that will be running a heavily locked-down configuration of Windows 10 until I die.

I look forward to Microsoft policy settings that disable all of Windows 11's clunky, privacy-invading features the moment governments have to or decide to upgrade, or when consumers eventually wake up and stop taking their nonsense.

I bought a Steam Deck to get away from Windows entirely.

I'm not a huge fan of Apple for a lot of reasons, so eventually I'm looking to move to a Linux development environment, but at this point I don't think it's ready.

To be honest, I'm not sure what to do anymore. I hate the modern Operating ecosystem. I find little value in the additions, and the ever encroaching privacy issues is really problematic.

For now I can keep it at bay with MacOS and SteamOS. But where do I go after this?
