The "Not me. Take curse of Ra" would fit here well.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

reads just like the old web3 grifters
Every single time I open my windows PC (which has now been force fed windows 11) they have disabled my Internet connection until I install yet another update. Which takes at least 15 min with a reboot. It's maddening. Reading all the lemmy Linux posts is about to convince me.
Windows 11 not running on my old computer made me hold out just long enough until Recall hit and it made me decide to not use it in my new one. I've been using Arch (CachyOS technically) for about a year now.
I'm one decent hard drive away from a full-blown Linux switch, but $60-$100 is $60-$100 since dual-boot is apparently suboptimal, which I can't abide.
dual-boot is only suboptimal because MS actively fucks with grub.
at least that's how it was for me back in the day.
I figured out a solution though. don't dual-boot, and run Linux directly.
I just can't immediately pull the plug on my Windows setup. I still need it accessible due to various custom stuff that'd take a long time to duplicate over to Linux.
I understand what you mean, but the longer you hold onto that stuff the longer you have to put up with their abusive shit.
I did the same thing, except I kept a full second device for windows. one day, I just stopped using it and didn't realize it until I couldn't remember the last time I used it.
good luck.
