In all fairness my mental health IS better since I've moved to Linux.

Turns out constant ads, AI crap I can't disable, the feeling of being spied on and other corporate tech-bro soul-sucking shenanigans is not great for one's mental health.

I think you just described why being on social media is bad for our mental health. Or most of the internet now really. I've never had ads or AI shit in the tens of thousands of Windows deployments I've had to push out at companies. I also don't have them on my families personal machines.

It's a bad move by Microsoft to include that shit... But it isn't them that got my mental health this way. They are just falling into the well if everyone is shanking public mental health and making money off it .. I guess we have to as well otherwise our shareholders quite literally will sue us for not attempting to make them more money at every stage all of the time reguardless of the harm it could cause.

Turns out capitalism might not be good for our mental health..
