We'd run out of companies though

I don't see Amazon as a monopoly, but as far as Apple goes, they currently hold the majority of phone sales in the US. A big reason for that is that they have a history of artificially preventing you from using certain device features with non-Apple products or services. iMessage is a good example as it took an order from China for Apple to add the RCS messaging standard that Android phones have had for years. Another example is that, while music apps on Android can use Google Assistant features, only Apple Music can utilize Siri features on iOS.
I mean, that's a decision for the managers or execs at Microsoft, not for me. They released the product with a ton of issues, not us.
Plus, plenty of users are sticking to Windows 10 because it's the better OS for them, whereas Windows 11 has fixed so many long-term issues and introduced enough useful QoL features that make it far better than 10 for me. I think the market share difference compared to previous Windows versions speaks volumes on how badly Microsoft screwed up.
As a vegetarian in the US, restaurants here have gotten way better about dietary restrictions over the years. Yes, some places still do mislead, but the vast majority usually ask you and the kitchen about ingredients and accommodate accordingly.
As far as the performance issues go, I've experienced a lot of those when I first upgraded from 10 to 11. After reinstalling though, the performance has been amazing.
I hate all of the constant advertising of MS products and services, especially in the case of Edge, because so many of those products are genuinely amazing, and people won't give them a chance because it's shoved down their throats.
Any sources for further reading/watching?
The fact that an insane number of sites use it makes it a big deal. If it dies, there will be plenty of dead links
Yes and no. The cheese is supposed to be a liquid or sauce
There are many things I like about F-Droid, but its UI is awful for a lay person
Win 11 has as many wins as blunders
Maybe they'll replace ads on sites that let them and block them on other sites? Who knows
That's really good to know. I still think my statement stands true if you exclude cheese and wine, and it's pretty easy to find vegetarian options for many common desserts.
