Bit weird to be so angry about this. The commenter is not ‘basically just another marketer’ because they have nothing (financial or otherwise) to gain from others using linux. They genuinely believe it is a better product and it is in your interests to use it.

Direct your anger at Microsoft if you feel as though you are being forced to do anything, they the ones choosing to enshitify Windows, and removing it as a viable option.

Users being passionate about a free product because they love it… Is that marketing? There is no agenda here besides wanting to help other computer users not be exploited.

The behavior of big tech is unacceptable and users would not choose to be treated like that if they had an alternative. They just need to find out about that alternative. Linux users are really passionate about this because we know it’s an amazing operating system.

It’s not that, it’s mainly because they’re tired of being browbeaten and having their freewill raped

Ok. Stick with the company that’s forcing recall on you.
