When it comes to Microsoft Windows being obsolete.

- I have never met anyone who is excited about the new Windows releases
- They seem to be more interested in becoming an surveillance/data company
- Valve has removed the need for Windows as a gaming platform, and popular gaming influencers are making videos about switching to Linux
- We start to see political will to become digital sovereign. Linux and open source is part of this debate.

Good riddance and shame on you, Microsoft.
