I switched from Windows to Linux not directly because of the most recent shit show with Recall (though it's part of the same general trend of enshittification). But it sure does make me feel even better about making that choice when I'm struggling with some minor annoyance on Linux.
@pervognsen I switched to Linux as my primary system in 2020 and each time I have to go back to increasingly new versions of Windows to use some software there, I am shocked at how broken the experience has become since it peaked a couple years ago. From spurious bluescreens to every single app coming up with a few-second delay (notepad, calculator, paint, ...), to a sluggish startup, to "we update you whenever we feel like it" (and reset your settings while at it), to IntelliJ feeling several times slower on the same repos, to menu and UI animations feeling glitchy and half-baked, to a sluggish startup etc, etc...
