  For the average user this is like a minor annoyance like once a month. Not worth switching OS’s over.

    Yeah, it’s a minor annoyance… another minor annoyance on top of all the others. And another personal data leak (or siphon) to go with all the others.

    This on its own is not worth switching OSs for - but as a piece of a larger picture it’s yet another reason to consider it. And for some people this may be what tips the scales in their evaluation.

      It’s a boil the frog scenario. Windows users will always cope with more and more shit thrown at them.

        And Linux fanboys will get up on their high horses while googling how to fix their driver issues.

    There’s been tens of dozens of annoyances over the last decade.

    Literally not even boiling the frog at this point, the frog is fried.

  I mean canonical also tries to monetize its [users](askubuntu.com/…/why-does-the-latest-build-of-ubun…. The problem is more shareholders who want profit than the software being proprietary.

    Canonical has nothing to do with Arch Linux, so I don’t see what’s the issue.

      And I don’t see why Arch is relevant to the discussion. My point is that software being non-proprietary is not a guarantee for preventing fuckery like Microsoft’s. Profit-maximizing companies will maximize their profits, proprietary software or not.

    yeah, ive been meaning to switch, but it doesnt really compare in sheer quantity of little crappy things stacked on top of one another.

    i think the main thing though, is that i can switch away from ubuntu and still be on gnome debian-based linux. and switching the rare stuff i dont like is as easy as doing it once and never worrying again.

  I am on Linux. I just posted about what Windows users are saying.

    hahaha, i reckon most people in this nice little corner of the internet are communist programmer atheists using linux and firefox, and are likely some flavour of queer.
