Same here. Microsoft acts like an ex that wants you to believe they’ve changed but you always regret trusting them. Windows still has a lot of crap and actually gotten worse in a few ways (like the spyware and ads).

Windows is basically a glorified games console UI for me now but thanks to my actual consoles and VM-able games I don’t really miss Windows at all.

I had not used anything by Microsoft for 10 years ago until they bought GitHub. Fuck.

This is the most apt analogy I've yet seen. I went "back" to Microsoft in the mid 2010s right around the time they started gaining a reputation for sucking less. Big mistake. But at least it gave me enough perspective to realize that the competing non-microsoft products and OSes (even the FOSS ones!) really aren't lacking as much as you'd expect.
