It's these little slights, multiplied by hundreds of other instances across the Microsoft and Windows 'experience' that added compounding, non-insignificant mental fatigue to my life.
It wasn't until I switched to Linux (Zorin) as my daily driver last month that I noticed this. Despite the initial adjustment pains, every time I open my laptop I now feel a sense of calm and stillness. My computer is exactly how I left it. It asks for my approval before doing things. It has no corporate agenda.
