Install GNU/Linux > None of the bullshit

I also run Linux and let me tell you, you're still dealing with a ton of bullshit. I never had to spend tens of hours to try and find the version of Windows on which I am able to get my hardware running properly only to have to trust some stranger telling me to install some home made driver to finally find the last piece of my puzzle.

Yes, Linux is not perfect, but it has a much stronger community than windows which helps, and it's improving and growing every day. You won't face any corporate bullshit(unless you use Ubuntu), but you might have issues with hardware support, etc. There is no perfect operating system unfortunately.
