Tired of Windows treating your personal data like free training material for Microsoft’s next AI model? Well maybe you should make the switch to Linux in 2026!

Windows 11 telemetry and AI (like Copilot) track your every move, feeding data to advertisers. In 2026 your data isn’t really yours, it’s sold off to the highest bidder by companies like Microsoft and Apple, Linux however lets you own your data—no built-in spying, or data harvesting. Distros like Ubuntu, Fedora, & Mint prioritize sovereignty.

If you didn’t already know this Linux is open source, which means it’s an operating system developed by the community and anyone can look at the code and know what’s going on under the hood, however Windows is closed source which essentially is the polar opposite. They can implement anything they want into your system without you even knowing. Linux is your only choice if you wish to keep your data safe. Oh and get this Linux will always be 100% FREE! Windows however, is looking to implement subscription based pricing for certain features sometime in the near future.

With windows being so bloated and slowing down even newer computers, and millions still can’t even upgrade from Windows 10 due to the insane TPM requirements. Linux runs lightning-fast on almost any computer. Yes that means Linux can run on your Dimension 8100 from 25 years ago.

Windows a hackers playground; with every update unlocking the potential for new bugs and vulnerabilities. Linux’s architecture and community patches make it way safer. In 2026’s cyber-threat landscape, avoid Windows’ vulnerabilities. Linux is customizable and will never force you to do anything, you decide as the user how secure you want your system to be, and you can change the visual layout of everything. This even includes what your file system looks like and how it works, what theme your computer has, and much more. With plugins and software, even little Timmy in the corner can do it—because there is no coding required and there are plenty of resources online that teach people how to navigate and build your dream Linux machine.

You can even play your favorite games on Linux using tools such as Proton and Steam Deck which have made Linux a gaming powerhouse—many titles run better than on Windows. By 2026, with NVidia/AMD driver polished, it’s plug-and-play for most gamers.

Linux is exploding—people are ditching traditional operating systems like Windows for Linux in droves to regain there freedom and data security. With companies like Valve and IBM backing the transition.

So what do you say? Are you going to switch to Linux?

Well it’s just like installing Windows except it’s better 😀 and it’s a different operating system. There are plenty of Videos on Youtube documenting how to install different flavors of Linux. Here are 2 videos and Linux flavors I recommend.
