I can ignore them just fine since I am no longer using Windows.

I haven't used Windows for more than 10 years and I'm happy too.

I think it's worth repeating that Ubuntu has been available since 2005 (20 years now) and from the start it filled the needs of most users at home (i.e. watching crap on YouTube and using LibreOffice). Most users I have seen around me only have basic requirements and should have switched decades ago.

TL;DR: if you complain about your computer nowadays and don't play games, install Ubuntu or Mint or anything else, I don't care anymore.

Since the rise of proton gaming is now absolutely viable on Linux as well. The exclusive use cases for Windows are disappearing fast.

Adobe has entered the chat

Edit: I guess you can use Adobe on Mac so it isn’t an example of windows exclusivity. They are what’s keeping me from going 100% to Linux, though
