I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn’t be happier!
99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won’t work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup.
The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.
Last I checked, opening links in iOS with alternate browsers is very app-specific and requires a hack using a different protocol. E.g. Chrome registers itself as a handler for the “httpChrome” protocol and the app needs to do Open("httpChrome://lemmy.ml"). It’s far worse than anything Microsoft did with IE back when they got sued.
Someone wants a choice, yet chooses platform that does not provide a choice? Wondering if there is any other platform that allows you to customize your phone. Hmmm. 🤔🤔🤔
I personally do a ton of game streaming to my Steam Deck which is my main driver for using Windows as it works better with NVIDIA Shield + Moonlight, but I highly recommend you give Pop!OS a try. I’m very pro-linux, but for the longest time it just wasn’t there for gaming and I didn’t recommend it. With Valve going full steam ahead for the Steam Deck, Proton has gotten so good that for 95% of games things just work out of the box without any issue. Wine even has support for Easy Anti Cheat now and more features are coming every week.
I can understand Teams in Office, particularly O365 for organizations… what I don’t get is Teams being mandatory in Windows 11…
Seriously you can’t have windows without having teams now?
I have a feeling when I finish rebuilding my gaming PC I’m not going to be a fan of using windows again…

When can I get an iPhone without iMessage being preinstalled? Microsoft is, if anything, late to the party on this kind of anti-user BS.
Or any of the i shit on there. And can you still not even change the default app for some things?

Hooooooold on, let me be crystal clear: I’m never buying an iPhone.
The point was that if the EU is going to go on an anti-bundling campaign, there’s a long line ahead of MS Teams of more egregious behavior.
…so you were talking about a phone you don’t use or plan on using, in a comparison against work software that you’re practically forced to use?
…do you not know about the IE lawsuits?
you can just uninstall it
Or install some alternative OS that don’t have bloatware & ads out of the box!
Wow they were right, you really did tell us you use Linux without us asking!
What about Windows 7?
You mean that extremely old operating system that no longer gets security updates?
Mno no, Windows xp, not 95. 👀

It can be uninstalled.
