Fucking hell I'm glad I switched to Linux for my desktop. If I could only convince the rest of my family.

    Challenge them to watch 10 YouTube videos or browse 10 websites on their machine vs your machine. Then ask them to save the YouTube video as an .mp3 file.

    It's always horrifying when I start up a default Edge browser and load literally any webpage. Popover frames, video and audio ads that autoplay, floating ad windows. They'll all technically have the ability to close them as long as you can touch the 3 pixel wide X button that is directly over the ad so mis-clicking loads a different web page or starts the Windows Store or some other nonsense.
