    I’m so happy to be able to end my reliance on Microsoft.

    Microsoft is a frequent contributor to core Linux technologies these days. Lennart Poettering to Microsoft has probably been the most prominent move but there are others that work on Azure Linux and WSL who also upstream their work.

      What I was trying to say was that I’m happy to be free of Microsoft’s ability to just sunset an operating system version that I liked and replace it with an even more privacy-disrespecting, ad and AI-bloated nightmare.

      Nobara is at least under my control in a significant way. Windows, like so many other software solutions these days wants to treat me like cattle and I want no part in that.

        I figure you weren’t a Gnome user during the 2.x to 3.x transition times.

        Yes but also Nobara isn’t an LTS distribution. Its versions get sunset way sooner than any major release of Windows.
