I've converted a ton of my older family to Linux, it does everything they need as far as web browsing and some basic office applications, and it offers a polished enough UI these days that most barely tell it apart from windows, some even prefer the UI more. Even 2/3 of our home systems have gone full Linux now too (no more dual booting) and handle all my own gaming, audio and programming needs. I really hope this message keeps getting out there and we can cut back on ewaste and forced obselence.

I have so many questions about this too.. Commenting to come back later for the answer.

Man, what sort of ~~sweatshop~~ industry is this so I can avoid it?

Just cancelled my 365 the other day too. Been on Linux for half a year now and forgot I had it until the news of the copilot price increase came out and reminded me. I was happy I could cancel and be refunded the remainder of the term and get some money back in my pocket!

Maybe a slider so we can adjust how much "masculine energy" shows up in our feeds?

This is the better path forward.. That everyone just gets so sick of it that they drop it - I've actually seen a lot of that among my own friends over the last week (and we aren't from America even). But the right wingers will never drop it because it's their community and echo chamber, and that's where the further dangers to democracy come into play when they're all in the sandbox together without parents...

I had just signed up a few nights ago to try it out before subscribing, it's an easy cancel at this point and is being done momentarily.

I long for rock solid VR support in Linux like the rest of my gaming in Steam. I dual boot windows for the sole purpose of VR experience right now :(

Exactly this. Wasn't Netflix going to sink after everyone cancelled when password sharing was banned? But everyone I know just ended up buying extra logins...

Francisco Partners ran my previous employer into the ground with a lot of shady shit too. Not surprised to hear their name involved with this.
