Yep. Even windows, the most widely used OS on the planet has a fringe group of contrarians still today. Amazing.

No, everybody should have power.

To small to be of any concern.

I replaced Linux with Windows and everything is going great for me too.

Windows pop-ups can all be turned off. I have them all turned off on my machines and nothing pops up anymore. Windows is extremely customizable and modifiable and it runs 100% of Windows software which is most of the software being produced in the world today.

Copilot is already great and it's only getting better. I can get so much more work done and the same amount of time or get the same amount of work done in a lot less time. It's funny how many people were afraid of AI. Technophobes abound in this world

Not everything that runs on windows is proprietary I use a lot of open source software on Windows myself. Windows is also a lot easier to configure to run exactly the way I wanted to run and to be the OS I need it to be. It's extremely customizable and easy to control. It's also modifiable in many many more ways.

No hardware problems in the version I run, not sure what version you use. It's also not frustrating for me but what I do get frustrated with is trying to get software to run and Linux but just won't work. Most people are smart enough to be able to use windows without getting frustrated.

Linux doesn't have all the features that Windows has, features that I use daily. It also doesn't work with all of my games and software so it's a non starter for me still. Tried it several times but it always falls short of what I need. I do have it sandboxed in Windows but it's rare that it is needed for how I use a computer.

I like having more options and AI is just one more option.

I do. It's nice to have when you want it and ready to not use if you don't. The more options the better. It's also nice when it's built in so you don't have to take extra steps to use it when you want to use it.

I never had any college classes that weren't easy A classes. I think that's all they have.
