This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

Doesn’t matter, in the end, because it’s the same story for tons of us out there.

Yeah, actually, kind of does. It helps us determine if you just bsing and/or shilling, or if there's really a product out there that does what you say, which in that case I would like to know so I can stay away from it.

Also I do get that there's defined vertical markets that have a small customer base of sales, and they could target a single OS in the development for the product for that vertical market, but then to use that as an example of a problem that the majority has to deal with is not intellectually honest.

I live in South Korea and the software I use is a video drm software strictly only for domestic usage. It's very intrusive software, even killing all the processes it thinks to have a screen capturing(sharing) ability(discord, teams, obs..) Circumventing these measures will also get me banned which is very bad. There is no way they're making Linux version too. The market is stupendously small in here.

It's something that a lot of people have to go through here. AntiDRM/FOSS is just not a thing here at all.

Wow, okay, good to know. I had no idea South Korea was that strict on DRM and such. Learned something new.
