I'm about to say goodbye to Windows forever -- and it has nothing to do with their security vulnerabilities. It has to do with 1) the incredibly shitty software they produce (Windows 11) and 2) their lack of ethics in regards to pretty much everything. I'm about to go all in on Linux - I've been using both OSes for years now but Linux to me today is the superior choice and I see 0 reason why anyone would want to touch Windows (and I hope to god many developers follow me) -- Windows is an absolute atrocity.
I'm with you 100%.
I'm typing this on a computer that came with Windows 11. I booted it a few times, and reserved a terabyte of my (8TB) SSD for it, but I never use it at all. I've got some Windows VMs, from XP through 10 that I rarely use, but I use them when needed for things that require those platforms.
I got an email from Intuit two weeks ago informing me that they weren't going to support Windows 10 anymore, so I guess I'll be deleting my Windows 10 VM soon, but I have no intention of ever creating or running a Windows 11 VM, or installing anything important on the soon-to-be-deleted Windows 11 partition I have, so I guess I'll quit using TurboTax after 40 years of using it.
I looked into the possibility of running TurboTax with Wine (or CrossOver, for which I have an eternal license), but apparently it doesn't run at all there.
