I'm a tinkerer. It's made for people like me that like to take stuff apart and put it back together to see how it works. It also, quite literally, does EXACTLY as I tell it and set it up to operate. It doesn't do disrespectful shit like revert my default browser settings to Edge. It is MY operating system and MY computer to 100% control however I wish, not some stale-ass predatory slop-driven corporation's.

    And one major thing that Linux also does that Windows does not is Linux will never install an application on your computer that you didn't explicitly tell it to install.

    I have uninstalled nopilot on work computers so many times. I run scripts to manually disable and remove it and prevent Windows from installing nopilot, and Windows updates, reverts what I did, and then reinstalls fucking nopilot, and then sneakily launches it in the taskbar where I can't easily see that it's running to begin with.

    Voluntarily running windows at this point is kind of like voluntarily allowing yourself to be sexually assaulted.

    Only weirdos and sad people who don't know that it could easily not be like that continue to put up with it.
