I am Australian. Yes, “suggested apps” masquerading as installed apps. Most if them shitty micro transaction games and adobe software. This is not preloaded software, I used to fresh install Windows on all my systems to get rid of that crud.

The final straw was when win10 started putting ads in the start menu. The start menu is so broken and bloated…

Two moons and a dude hangliding? I love AI.

I tried helping family and friends as well however the reasons why I wanted to switch (privacy issues and getting served start menu ads) where not shared.

Most people don't care how something works or the moderations behind it just that it works and more importanty that it works exaclly the same way each time.
Ignoring an ad or slightly modifying your tolerance for a increasing shit process is more easy that trying a completely new approach.

The way Mac OS overcomes this is with "buy in", its expensive so people are more motivated to actually learn the Mac OS way to do things so their purchasing choices are validated. There are more reason but this is a big one.

Just keep yours expectations reliatic. Just because someone complains about windows does not mean they are ready to switch.

Have not used windows on my personal computer and laptop for 3 years now. I still game, proton is awesome.

This whole series triggered me so hard. They went out of their way to test it under the worst possible conditions.

• last at night
• setting a goal with a deadline/time constraints for first run
• not stopping and reading or thinking, just assuming away
• copy paste from google frsit thing that looks vagualy right
• tunnel vission
• not resources like Emily, ensuring they make big mistakes

Then they follow up with hypocrisy of this shit, after going on and on about UI not being right or hard to use for the end user.
