I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

    Early 2000s, Microsoft starts putting sketchy telemetry into XP: 🙂

    Late 2000s, MS ramps that shit up even more with Vista and 7 while the bloat rises to never before seen levels with the architecture change to 64 bit: 😁

    Early 2010s, MS includes actual fucking ads into the OS: 😆

    Early 2020s, MS jams AI into it because it’s the thing to do and everybody else is doing it after nobody really asked: 🤣
