I always install Linux, 1-2 times per year but in the end I always go back to Windows. I have apps which are Windows only but whenever I want to change display scaling to 125% on Linux, is when I slowly start losing interest in it.
I cannot watch a video from start to finish anymore. Thanks youtube. Almost every video is filled with bs fluff to reach the 8 minute mark. It annoys me greatly. Maybe also because I am in the industry and I learned in school to not use meaningless shit in my videos.
But will they stop tracking and cross tracking your every move across the web? Because with all the paid options these sites offer I don’t really see a mention of not tracking you. Same back then when Reddit was still alive for me, for the sub they only stopped showing you ads but there was no mention of tracking.

Your observations are pretty spot on, however the “friend in Russia” will most likely happen when hell freezes over. Russia is pretty hated and almost always was in Romania. What will however happen is the EU support will most likely drop to very low levels.
Got a 64GB refurb when they were in stock end of September, honestly I couldn’t tell it was a refurb. It looked like new, the only thing that might have given it away was the carrying case, had a few small smudges but I got a Tomtoc anyway so it didn’t matter anyway.
That’s stupid and illegal in Europe since you only want to unsubscribe from emails. The few sites for which the unsub button does nothing, I usually contact them and tell them they are breaking the EU law and if they don’t stop, I will report them. Works all the time.
More transparency and more control over which content will get shown to you
So I can block all the “this changes everything”, “incredible thing you did not know”, “mind blowing details about game x” videos from youtube? When I load Youtube I always scroll down on the main page and click don’t recommend this channel on all videos that have titles like that or thumbnails with arrows, red circles or other crap thumbnails. Don’t care what channel it is.
