Fuck Micro$oft

It's time to switch to Linux! Because it's free as in freedom.

Yeah, like the constant driver issues. I had to reinstall the OS and it wouldn't even recognize my hard drive, just told me there's no drive.

Or when it refused to use my dedicated Nvidia GPU and only used the integrated one.

Or when my sound stopped working all of a sudden.

Oh, right, those were all Windows!

Yes, but didn't you appreciate the targeted ads you were getting while trying to troubleshoot? Think about all of the trash you won't know about if you use anything other than Mac(i)OS/Windows!?

Heh, they didn't really stand a chance, I block them on network level, device level and I also used some software to block all the annoying shit on Windows itself (OO Shut Up or something like that). But the huge empty spaces where something was very obviously missing told me pretty exactly where I would see the ads.
