Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up

The issue with Windows is the telemetry. You simply cannot disable it. Yes, you can waste time ticking everything off, but with the next update, it's back again. No, thank you.

I want to use an operating system that respects my privacy. For me, this is OpenBSD, FreeBSD, or Fedora/Debian Linux.

I use Windows at work, too, and am horrified daily by how utterly difficult it is to use compared to Linux or FreeBSD.

I personally haven't had an issue with disabling telemetry. Also, stumbled upon this a while back (maybe worth checking out): https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10
