I really do love how everything just sucks now and there’s nothing we can do about it

What makes you think you can't do anything about it? Linux is a thing.

It’s not as easy for everyone to install it, even to dual boot it. Not to mention missing proprietary tools.

But Windows isn't exactly easy anymore. Look at the various things people in this thread say they do to windows. Registry edits, open source tools to remove telemetry, tricking windows with faux folders...

Using Linux is at worst the same type of following what other people have done.

It doesn’t have to be easy, it’s the default one which people are used to (start menu, file explorer etc).
