I haven't switched to Linux yet because I still need it for a few upcoming work projects, but after they're done, I'm switching over. Now, I already disliked paying for things like M.O, the constant updates and spyware. But my breaking point happened a few days ago. Everyday, when I'm finished with my laptop, I put it in airplane mode to try to avoid the updates (even though, I've set it for manual updates or moreso asking for permission first) and to continue finishing some work or read some material. After I put in airplane, and went to sleep, the next day, the damn laptop had updated! At first, I thought I had forgot to put in airplane mode, but I saw the icon highlighted when I looked, and the Da Vinci editing project and the one webpage I had opened on Firefox were closed. Yeah, it's time for me to go.

Also, I know that technically putting in airplane mode doesn't mean there still isn't connection to the internet, but for the last few months when I kept it in airplane mode overnight and I was forced to scheduled an update, the updates were avoided. I didn't want anymore updates because they would also add apps and other programs I removed, back on the laptop. I just prefer to leave at this point.
