      I’m gonna say I spent 8 months cloning my windows environment and then learning Linux basics, and trying to figure out how to make everything work after I migrated to Linux and now they want to backpedal the bullshit that made me leave windows in the first place?

      Fuck you, I’m not walking any of this back. I’ve finally got out of their shitty fucking ecosystem, and I’m actually happy with where I am. Fuck Microsoft, I’m not going back.

      Yah they do deserve to be treated like shit. At this point they are willingly participants. MS has been making the experience shittier and shitter and people accept it. If they do roll this back it is only because they are worried.

        There are valid reasons for some people to be stuck. For example, work computers they have no control over or niche software that will not work in WINE or Winboat. I know someone who still has Windows 98 because of a piece of ancient embroidering software that no longer exists, will not run on newer versions of Windows, and requires a hardware dongle that doesn’t work under Winboat or WINE. I tried. I spent weeks on it.
