Sick of Windows spying on you? Go Linux [View all]

From ZDNET:

With Windows 10 snooping on your every keystroke, it's time to consider an alternative: the Linux desktop.

You can try to turn Windows 10's data-sharing ways off, but, bad news: Windows 10 will keep sharing some of your data with Microsoft anyway.

There is an alternative: Desktop Linux.
