I don't give a flying fuck how they try to explain it. I don't want AI driven anything.
Let people opt in to that crap. They have an app store, out it's there.
if they did that then nobody would use it, and then the shareholders would be sad.
People are already opting in to use Windows though.
are being opted in. Slight difference.
Yes and no. It's still more a theoretical choice.
If you buy a new computer, you have basically the choice between MacOS and Windows. And if they do not want a Mac or are not able to afford it, the only only Windows.
Sure, you can buy computers with pre-installed Linux, but it's hard to find.
Now, with Hardware not supporting Windows 11 anymore, more people switch to Linux, but it's still a small amount. And many people do not know how to install linux. It's relativ easy these days on older hardware, but if one buys a brand new computer, there are often still problems with hardware that is not yet supported out of the box in Linux.
I think, consumers should have the right of choice for an OS at the moment they buy a computer. There should be the option to have Windows, a Linux distribution or no OS installed.
