Windows Losing to GNU/Linux

Get rid of Microsoft's Start Menu ads with this new software tool — the "Oh F*ck Go Back" program cleans up Windows 11
Our next question for Maddy was about Windows and Linux and what prompted her to leave. "I switched over to Linux when I started programming and getting into tech when I was younger. What drew me to it was the customization it provided and the open-source nature. I was also enamored with other people's beautiful Linux setups," said Maddy. When asked if Windows could win her back, Maddy laughed, "Windows lost me a long time ago by adding more and more telemetry, ads, and the lack of easily configurable options. As soon as the last few programs that I just can't get away from are running right under Wine or Proton I plan to ditch it completely."
