I'm trying to be as objective as possible in referring to Windows, but 
the reality is that there are significant problems with continuing to 
use it even if you're sold on their product(s). Anyone with an AMD 
laptop is not going to have a satisfactory experience as a result of the 
fTPM stuttering. Anyone who buys movies and TV shows or subscribes to a 
streaming service and intends to watch content on an external monitor is 
not likely to be happy that the monitor shuts off as a protection 
against piracy. If the constant updates taking a long time don't bother 
the user, they might be annoyed that these updates introduce new folders 
or bugs that they are asked to simply ignore. If all of the above isn't 
bothersome, the user might be annoyed that the system slows down or 
becomes unstable because the system files managed to corrupt on their 
own requiring an SFC or DISM repair. If nothing else, people might get 
annoyed that their personal photos and videos get locked out because of 
some 0-day the company managed not to protect against or because of bit 
rot. At some point, people need to admit that such things are no longer 
acceptable in 2025 and move on.

Eventually, the amount of compromises you need to make to use Windows 
outweighs the amount of sacrifices you make by moving away from it.
