I'm not a MS hater, but WTF with all the ever growing telemetry, spam and the Edge enforcement efforts. Esp. what they do with Edge drove me over the edge.

A couple of weeks ago I made the first step. Still running Windows 10 as base but with VMWare Workstation running Ubuntu LTS. I do all serious work in Ubuntu. Before that my whole dev setup was on Windows.

Still hesitant to move to something like ESXi (also because of the limits of the free version). But something like this is the next step, I guess.

Or Windows in a Linux VM. I haven't discovered that enough yet. Linux still needs more setup and maintenance IME.


>WTF with all

It's the zeitgeist of computing. Can you point out a single large established entity that doesn't do this?
