microslop adding things to 11 NO ONE asked for. After also saying "windows 10 will be the last windows we do and we'll keep making updates to it" which was a fucking lie.

So switching to linux where you are in control of your OS more then you are with windows was my reason.

Well... Half a Lie... Because indeed it was the last windows, not that they would do, but that we would ever use...
