I had a similar issue, after cleaning up a Windows machine for someone else, making sure Firefox with uBlock was running. I took a look at it a few weeks later and there was some bullshit Microsoft Bing search bar or AI thing on the toolbar. Wiped, installed Linux.

Microsoft is setting fire to the bridges and those will be users which they will never be able to get back again.

Linux works great for gaming except some anti-cheat stuff which probably won't be legal anymore anyways in Europe under the PLD.

I tried to have a gaming setup with Linux (SteamOS and Bazzite) but both failed when I tried to connect more than one Bluetooth controller and they'd be unable to distinguish them or disconnect everything after a few minutes, it was a frustrating experience.

  • This depends on the bluetooth chip and its driver. It works better on some than others.

    • I tested three pieces of hardware with different chips: T480, X670E Taichi, USB Bluetooth dongle

      All worked better with Windows than Linux. It may depend but I hoped at least one would be good..

Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't care about the occasional admin who manages to uninstall Windows in favor of Linux. Since Windows is the default OS on most machines, Microsoft is already making it up in volume.
