<![CDATA[Why Microsoft’s Desktop Monopoly is Finally Cracking]]>Windows is no longer the "only" choice—it’s becoming a cautionary tale. From aggressive ads and "enshittification" to the rise of Linux gaming and Apple’s ARM dominance, the desktop monopoly is finally cracking. Is this the year of Windows humiliation? I’m reacting to Linus Tech Tips’ deep dive into why Microsoft is losing its core audience and why users are finally choosing privacy and autonomy over a bureaucracy that treats them like a resource. The tide is turning. The dam is about to break.
