I'll never hassle others for keeping it as their daily driver. There are practical costs, and pressure to yield to industry norms.
But right now, I'm largely free of those constraints. There will never be a better time to go "all-in".
I'll still occasionally need a Windows VM, because I can't entirely unshackle myself from reality. But I will be in control of my machine - not Microsoft. And that's a happy thought. :)
...with my luck I'll go through all the brain damage of switching back to Garmin, since there is no decent FOSS fitness tracking hardware, get everything wired up in a de-Googled Android OS (assuming Health services work at all there), and a week later Garmin will get bought by Apple or Google and I'll be equally fucked with all my data going to the same goddamn place. #rant#BigTechShouldNotExist#foss
