So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows (sh.itjust.works)

I hated Windows 11 because:

Constant Telemetry
Hogs resources. Examples include: Using 1/3 of my 1TB SSD and 1/2 of 16GB of DDR5 RAM
Tons of vulnerabilities, several that remain unaddressed
Forced updates
The UI and start menu is hideous, search immediately searches Bing instead of my system for an app

I love Fedora 39 because:

No telemetry, optional anonymous bug reporting
Uses only 50GB of my 1TB SSD and 1.6GB of 16GB of DDR5 RAM on the OS plus GNOME
Vulnerabilities continue to be patched through kernel updates (currently up to 6.7.7 on Fedora)
I get to choose when to update my system
I like my riced UI, the application menu is clean and search searches for apps on my system first with perfect accuracy

Did I prove my point?

Pretty much the only thing Windows has going for it is hardware support, and that's purely down to manufacturers not supporting Linux so I can't even give MS kudos for that.

If my simracing hardware ever gets decent support I'm switching all my machines over.
