    MS have always been a little shitty and I don’t want to sound “high horse”-y since everything is flawed in one way or another, but basically:

    • the creep of advertising into the OS (despite charging for a license for Windows)
    • the substantial telemetry/metric and analytic collection of the user activity
    • the installation of so much unwanted garbage (e.g. candy crush, tik tok, etc)
    • the use of its user base as “beta testers” by pushing half-baked features
    • the removal of features

    I understand that they’re running a business and that they can’t support old OS’ forever and can’t appease every user, but the above was more than enough for me to jump ship.

    Edit: sorry I realised after replying you meant red hat lol, @Valon_Blue@sh.itjust.works said exactly what I was referring to. For those looking for an alternative, Rocky OS is the new CentOS and is built by its original creator.
