Never mind Windows 365, I’ve yet to move on to Windows 11. Tried a few times and never liked it.

This seems like a really bad idea. Are there any examples of this that Lemmians are familiar with? Certainly can’t play games on it. Right?

More likely the end of desktop Windows. But I wouldn't take my bet on it as Windows users often tend to accept everything Microsoft does, sooner or later.

    People leaving Windows en masse needs three things:

    1. Continued enshitification, which will likely continue.
    2. More apps (games, productivity, etc.) having native support for Linux, or at least a viable alternative.
    3. Linux devs to prioritize user friendliness over gatekeeping/"just use macros" mentality.

    I'm heavily thinking on moving to Linux in the future, likely when I'll need to reinstall my OS. Then I'll only keep around Windows for testing purposes.

    EDIT: I wrote two instead of three
