I want to use an OS on my own terms, for my own ends. I want an OS that respects the boundaries I set for it. This includes respecting my time, my attention, my privacy and above all my consent. I should be the user, it should be the tool, not the other way around.
Every new version of windows seems to provide less of this than the previous version. More ads, more being forced into things, more telemetry, more updates reverting settings I made, less respect for my express commands, less useful feedback on what the OS is actually doing and why.
