A lot of us could just stop using that garbage OS.
Problem is there's too much professional software that simply won't run on Linux, things you spend all day in and even if you can get it to run in a sandbox the experience sucks (because it's too resource intensive, otherwise it would get all SaaSy and force you into the cloud), like CAD software, 3D modeling tools, editing...
Monopolistic behavior is monopolistic behavior. MSFT needs a beatdown.
Use those professional softwares on a work PC/laptop, and don't use it for anything personal. Use a separate device for your personal use.
It's resource intensive stuff used for personal projects, CAD workloads benefit from more cores and more RAM so what you're really saying is to have two top of the line machines running in parallel along with a KVM switch because you're probably alternating between the two on your personal time. Too wasteful.
