    I am not going to worry about it, sounds like a problem for my IT department since they are the ones who insist I use windows for work.

    Me, I will be just fine on my Linux gaming PC.

      The good thing about Linux is if your distribution makes boneheaded decisions like MS, you can switch to another one.

        That and the other good thing: no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.

          Oh, they do those all the time.

          And then either quietly backpedal once everybody complains or stick to it until everybody moves and they are dead.

          Manjaro dev team enters the room.
