"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains." Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the worst chains are the ones we don't realize we are wearing. Should we submit to digital slavery by blindly accepting what Big Tech decides? Society has trained us to accept that Windows is the OS we should use.

Windows updates are causing a variety of system issues, ranging from minor performance lags to critical boot failures. Microsoft collects data from our devices to show ads. This overhead decreases performance. Unwanted ads are popping up everywhere. Search default settings have changed to another favored by Microsoft, likely due to a browser update, extension, or "browser hijacker" malware. OneDrive, that Microsoft cloud-based storage service, often causes file deletions or "disappearances" due to its sync behavior. Common problems are occurring from corrupt drivers, software conflicts, a buggy Windows update, or corrupt system files damaged by power surges, improper shutdowns, or malware. Flaws in Windows are being actively exploited by zero-day attacks. The loop of blue and black screens in Windows is occurring frequently.

Support for Windows is ending. Security holes will no longer be patched. If your device cannot run Windows 11, you would have to buy a new one.

Many users are switching from Windows to Linux due to strict hardware requirements for Windows 11, the end of Windows 10 support, and dissatisfaction with AI integration, bloatware, and privacy concerns. Some are leaving Microsoft to distance themselves from Microsoft's founder, Bill Gates, due to his documented meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, and having affairs with young Russian women.

Linux desktop users have been increasing rapidly in the last few years. Linux has already surpassed macOS in specific, high-growth sectors, particularly in gaming. ChromeOS and Android cell phones are based on the Linux kernel. Linux already powers 100% of the world's top 500 supercomputers and over 63% of global servers.
