    I personally won’t pay for the extra security updates, and will switch to Linux, but like you said, it’ll be very overwhelming at first. I’ve used kubuntu on my laptop for a while now, but it’s hard to rewrite my own software for Linux because it uses native system APIs.

      I get it. I also don’t want to signal to Microsoft that switching to a subscription model is valid, for an OS I already payed for. I worry they’ll adapt it for all services released in the future, which are declining in quality. They are basically becoming Adobes ugly sibling.

      I know, this is a contradictory statement to what I have written before which was driven by frustration mainly. Managed to troubleshoot a few things since then.
