Windows shoving AI down everyone's throats lead me to Linux. First Debian, then Fedora. BTW I'm using Arch now. I love AI, but giving Microsoft full access to my entire file system by force rubs me the wrong way.
Same. I run a dual-boot with Linux Mint, but have a windows installation for gaming. I do 99% of my computing on Linux now.
I also have dual-boot with Mint, because I expected to be using Windows for gaming. It turns out I have never needed to. Every game I've wanted to play has worked on Linux; and so my Windows partition has just sat idle.
Nice! Fore it's been about 70% of my library that's worked, so it's an unfortunate necessity.
