Enshitification of Windows was my reason, I was quite patient, I let it slide when they backported telemetry to Windows 7, Windows 10 was still quite usable but the amount of bloat was getting on my nerves already. When I saw what shitshow 11 is becoming I jumped ship. I’m glad I did it early and didn’t wait for Windows EOL.

More control… that should cheer the heck out of Chinese people…

I just took line of least effort, all my docker containers are hosted on dedicated VM in proxmox, so I just backup entire VM on weekly basis to my NAS. Already had to restore it once when I was replacing SSD in proxmox host, worked like a charm.

I’ve used it briefly in the past but with all the streaming services popping up and prices going up I thought it will be a matter of time for Plex to follow suit. So I moved to Jellyfin and never looked back. I kept account (ok I forgot about it) but when I saw that email today in my mailbox I just logged in and deleted it.

Good, megacorps is last thing this world need.

So happy I don’t have to deal with this anymore! :D

Gentus Linux comes to mind, obscure distro based on Red Hat (not RHEL mind You) released by now forgotten ABIT, a motherboard manufacturer. I was daily driving it as teenager back in 2001 for couple of weeks until I learned by trial and error how to get windows 98 installed back. Another one would be Mandrake Linux which I was dual booting couple years later.
