Thank you for the excellent article.
Many of us, in the past, realized that using Linux is geek paradise and little else and returned immediately to MS Windows.

Things seem to have changed the last few years, for the better.
With Windows applications more and more restricting useful software to "cloud versions" by subscription, the time to switch might be getting unavoidable.

I hated the theory and practice of the "cloud" in the late 50s, and I hate the idea of the current cloud more.

The market (customers) should rule.

PCs rule.

Best to have total control of the hardware that you own rather than have the software p0wn YOUR hardware and data.
