MS have always been a little shitty and I don’t want to sound “high horse”-y since everything is flawed in one way or another, but basically:

• the creep of advertising into the OS (despite charging for a license for Windows)
• the substantial telemetry/metric and analytic collection of the user activity
• the installation of so much unwanted garbage (e.g. candy crush, tik tok, etc)
• the use of its user base as “beta testers” by pushing half-baked features
• the removal of features

I understand that they’re running a business and that they can’t support old OS’ forever and can’t appease every user, but the above was more than enough for me to jump ship.

Edit: sorry I realised after replying you meant red hat lol, @Valon_Blue@sh.itjust.works said exactly what I was referring to. For those looking for an alternative, Rocky OS is the new CentOS and is built by its original creator.

For one, there's everything they did to CentOS after they bought it.
