Just spent the weekend moving to Kubuntu. It only took about 5 hours and my computer is snappier than it's ever been. I have been on Windows for 30 years. Microsoft, you should be scared. You can't compete with free competition.

    Windows has different design pressures. They have painted themselves into a corner and can no longer afford to manage it. If they make sweeping changes they break the number 1 rule of windows, maintain legacy compatibility wherever possible. If companies have to buy new, it’s a harder sell for Microsoft because there are better, cheaper options out there they can’t compete with. Their own ecosystem is holding them back and they cannot do anything about it.
