The last year and change:

Linux - We’ve made a range of free to use operating systems more streamlined and user friendly across the board and gotten over hurdles so that you can have a ready to go open source gaming PC that runs everything other than trash ass games better than windows, with minimal hardware requirements, with no extra steps after install other than some updates, including being able to play old games designed specifically for windows that can’t be played on their modern OS. This is all completely free and you have complete ownership over your operating system.

Microsoft - Give us money for this spreading cascade of dumpster fires or you can’t touch our things. We can also do whatever the fuck we want with OUR operating system at any time and if you do something we don’t like we will delete everything and take away your ability to use your PC. That might also just happen even if you follow all of our demands. We are actively collecting your data and activity for government entities. Every menu also has ads and spying software. And if your computer isn’t new then you can go fuck yourself altogether. Fuck you.

I really could not have chosen a better time to change my OS.
