Why are people still using Windows? OMG, what is wrong with people? Just use Linux. Literally any major Linux distro is superior nowadays.

You don't like it, stop using it! You hate it, boycott it! Don't expect change. They care so little about you and your opinions; demanding change from a multi-trillion dollar company is almost cringe-worthy at this point. Like a cockroach begging for mercy as your shoe is coming down onto it at full speed.

It's so frustrating how people nowadays complain about systems that they can easily change (or substitute, in this case) and nobody seems to complain about those systems which they cannot change nor substitute.

If you complain to abstract entities which don't care about you, about problems which you can easily solve yourself, you're the problem!

You're the reason why everything is shit and stays shit.

I think a big part of them problem is ye olde IT department, deploying the 'sloth is what they know how to do, people get funneled into using the stack and feel uncomfortable outside the walled garden. There are off the shelf solutions for end point control AD and beyond. It's not hard to come up with all the usual Machiavellian contraptions equivalent for a Linux platform but they'll have different names and hit a little different. People are creatures of habbit. I personally have a negative view on big orgs, my brief time inside a couple really painted a picture for me and I have a hard time seeing the up side of them, especially in this time of layoffs the illusion that a big org is a stable place to work is broken. Hopefully out of those pieces we can build smaller orgs that have a sprit of adventure who will pioneer new ways forward. Browser based SaaS products mostly unteather the need for a particular platform. The stage is set to use what you like, stand up for yourself and say no to using products that disrespect you.

Well, I don't really see Linux as a good alternative. For example, all major distros force me to use systemd, dbus and atk. Dbus+atk is practically a platform for spyware. Everything that happens in the system passes either through dbus or atk, or both. Another pain point for me is that xdg-open is crap and there's no alternative but to install my own script instead, which is overwritten with every xdg update.
