Ads and &amp;quot;news&amp;quot; on your desktop, garbage free to play games preinstalled or linked to.&lt;p&gt;OneDrive your user dir(Desktop, Documents) to the cloud, Outlook feeding your mails to the cloud.&lt;p&gt;All this will be used against people to sell more targeted ads and other BS.&lt;p&gt;It used to be that Windows was reasonably solid with good performance for dev and gaming. Now Linux is far superior in both aspects.</text></comment>

Linux is great for gaming... if you dual boot Windows for when it&amp;#x27;s not. i was fooled by the contemporary optimism and set my new rig up as Linux only, to discover that some games will just not work, or not work well, or be unable to play multiplayer, or require arcane hacks, or require specifically-versioned, bespoke compatibility layers...&lt;p&gt;we are getting there, and i look forward to a glorious future where we can kick the pile of dogshit that is Windows to the curb, but that day ain&amp;#x27;t today.</text></comment>
