This might finally provide the momentum to switch to Linux.

    My hate for subscriptions > my laziness.

    As much as I dislike Linux because of its extremely annoying user baser I might even consider switching then

    Don't write it off just because some users are obnoxious about it. I use Linux myself, but I just sidestep any bs I come across and go about my business. If you're curious about Linux, try it out. If you're not, no sweat.

    If you ever do try it out, I highly recommend the Linux mint forums, even if you choose a different distro. They seem friendly enough there.

    I'd also recommend installing time shift for system restore type functionality and an external USB drive for backups of personal files just in case.

    Annoying OS that constantly gets in your way anytime you try to do work

    IS WAY WORSE THAN

    Annoying users I electively interact with occasionally on social media.
