  • The first netbook (Asus EEE PC) ran Linux because Windows was too heavy for the processor it had. People predicted, this would be the year of the Linux desktop (ha ha ha). Then Microsoft came up with a cut down version of XP and basically gave it away for free. And you can bet your ass there was some shitfuckery going on behind closed doors. So from then on all netbooks ran Windows.

    Oh and recently a company called Ayaneo wanted to put out a handheld with HoloISO (basically SteamOS). Then suddenly they announced it will run Windows. Again, I'll bet Microsoft pulled some strings.

    • Telemetry
    • Ads
    • Forced updates
    • Installing and Uninstalling stuff without user consent
    • Planned obsolesence
    • Trying of licenses to hardware

    Just off the top of my head. The enshittification of Windows and the disenfranchisement of users has been going on for decades and it won't stop any time soon.

  • It needs to grow because monopolies are bad. Linux is the only thing that stands between us and being totally controlled by the tech giants. If you run Windows on your computer, it's not your computer.
