There was an article on a tech news site recently about how to unshittify windows. Just like 4 pages of stuff to turn off and uninstall.

People in the comments unsurprisingly were like "Linux is free and getting better all the time". People were mad. So mad.

In the beginning was the command line - Neal Stephenson

Hacker with bullhorn: “Save your money! Accept one of our free tanks! It is invulnerable, and can drive across rocks and swamps at ninety miles an hour while getting a hundred miles to the gallon!” Prospective station wagon buyer: “I know what you say is true...but...er...I don’t know how to maintain a tank!” Bullhorn: “You don’t know how to maintain a station wagon either!” Buyer: “But this dealership has mechanics on staff. If something goes wrong with my station wagon, I can take a day off work, bring it here, and pay them to work on it while I sit in the waiting room for hours, listening to elevator music.” Bullhorn: “But if you accept one of our free tanks we will send volunteers to your house to fix it for free while you sleep!” Buyer: “Stay away from my house, you freak!”
