gollark: Again, lack of control. Telemetry, forced updates, advertisements, random software being installed...I mean, yes, there are some nice points, but it's kind of regressing in some areas and progressing in others.
gollark: Okay, wait a bit, I'm going to get back on my laptop now so I can type fast.
gollark: I generally expect newer versions to be better, not worse like Windows.
gollark: Well, that's "nice" of them.
gollark: I've seen "this copy of Windows is not genuine" popups but that was on 7.
