I honestly hoped there won't be new Windows versions in the foreseeable future. Win10 with its cloud and telemetry was something I could barely accept. Win11 goes beyond. I play old games, so Ubuntu will be my friend soon.
I would rather make a streamlined Linux version that I control ALL the components of the kernel like Slackware than use bloatwareUbuntu any day.
I use windows because it's what my business industry produces software and hardware for, if it was Mac Based I would use that.
At home, I use a variety of systems, Windows, Linux, even Dos, (
all on original Hardware not including VMS which I also use)
I use operating systems that pre-date "MS-DOS" existence; (on various OS and Z80 CP/M systems of the '80s) and they all have a claim to the stars.
Is windows evil. no. it is just what the people that don't care about hardware want, to run their MS-styled "Ipad" and do it all for them.
If you learn and enjoy Ubuntu and find it capable of performing all the needs and tasks you desire, then good for you, the rest of us will have to continue to utilize the operating system.
