MS has been the main reason for Linux adoption lately. I've been seriously considering removing my Windows partition (I'm dual booting). I'm tired of the unnecessary software and tracking data they collect, which feels dishonest. The only barrier preventing a full switch is gaming, but that's no longer a solid reason. What about you?
Just be like: arrrr, and fudge it. There are moar and moar thingies poping up on how to break the spyware part of windows 10.
I really don't care about the telemetry - if you keep it on basic they keep data on apps that crash, hardware, games run, etc. Big fucking deal. Bloatware is subjective - I use the apps on my tablet but not on my desktop. Linux is never going to go mainstream - too much missing for too many people.
I have moved to Linux as my primary operating system. For Windows-only programs, I still run them on Windows 8.1.
I'm not sure what you're asking. Converting your office to Linux last year seems like a big change, but it's been very reliable. You've had less work to do and taken on new tasks. The equipment ranges from brand-new to about four years old, with over 50 workstations and a large server rack.
