Lmao nah, it's not just ram prices and it's not just game performance. It's the fact that Windows is an absolute shit pile usability and a bloated spyware with garbage AI that they'll never get rid of made and distributed by an evil yank corporation. No amount of time will be enough to win some of us back.
Although, it might not matter ultimately because all they need to do is convince the masses, not middle-aged nerds like me.
Users: We want OS wide dark UI, updates that don't crash the system, less/no AI baked in, and no ads.
Microslop: Good news! We've baked AI into every app even notepad! But wait a few updates because right now we're imploding SSDs! We've also released a new ad algorithm that sends you personalized ads based on "anonymous user data we didn't illegally collect!
Microslop: We can't figure out why they're so upset!
Wait, Windows doesn't even have system wide dark mode yet? I thought that was standard in 2026.
Hell, even Gnome has it.
Nope. There is an API for it and it works but its not standard on new app templates
