Mostly it's about escaping Microslop's spyware/adware operating system.

Another Youtuber that has absolutely no idea how to do a proper OS comparison. Another irrelevant article. This is not an OS comparison. Linux OS itself does NOT offer a performance increase over Windows. This comes down to drivers & translation layers, NOT operating systems. A proper comparison is running a game that has both a Windows & a native Linux port and uses the OpenGL/Vulkan api. Windows ALWAYS wins.

YMMV.

Microsoft are just "asking for it" at this point (as in completely uninstalling it).
