Who is surprised?
Bit weird to be so angry about this. The commenter is not ‘basically just another marketer’ because they have nothing (financial or otherwise) to gain from others using linux. They genuinely believe it is a better product and it is in your interests to use it.
Direct your anger at Microsoft if you feel as though you are being forced to do anything, they the ones choosing to enshitify Windows, and removing it as a viable option.
Nobody is attacking your free choice, they’re literally trying to give you another option. That’s what free choice is all about.
If you are making an informed devision to remain with windows as it gets worse and worse, then that is up to you, but don’t come at people for trying to offer you an alternative just because you’ve made that decision.
Users being passionate about a free product because they love it… Is that marketing? There is no agenda here besides wanting to help other computer users not be exploited.
The behavior of big tech is unacceptable and users would not choose to be treated like that if they had an alternative. They just need to find out about that alternative. Linux users are really passionate about this because we know it’s an amazing operating system.
It’s not that, it’s mainly because they’re tired of being browbeaten and having their freewill raped
Ok. Stick with the company that’s forcing recall on you.
