I invested heavily in the Amazon Music ecosystem, I bought hundreds of albums on there, and the platform is now very nearly unusuable. I cannot even listen to the songs that I paid for without also having to listen to ads. And the Android app now hides the downloads in some hidden folder so I can't even download them and listen to them on another player. It makes me furious.
I've actually gone back to CDs, if you can believe it. It's kind of nice sometimes, especially for full album plays, but I do miss a nice big playlist of my favorite songs from all artists.
I really wish there was a better alternative to push my friends to. I do use Bandcamp, so at least I know more of my $$$ are going to the artists and I can take the music with me, but I'm not sure about the platform long-term.
I definitely found Linux Mint the easiest version to switch to, coming from Windows. All the menus and icons were basically where I expected to find them. I couldn't have cared less about Wayland support, I just wanted to do basic tasks and for my printer to work, and Mint did that out of the box.
I'd at least like a company I know I can contact. My first ebike was from Ariel Rider, and the battery failed 15 months after I bought it. Which sucked, but at least I could get support to buy a replacement battery, even though they didn't sell that model anymore. The company also had support that helped me spec the right brake pads, etc. for maintenance. It's still running fine now, chewing through tires, but if I had to buy one again, I'd probably pick a bike I could get serviced in a bike shop instead of fussing around with email support and trying to do the grease monkey work myself.
Same, although I may not wait that long, I'm looking at a new PC build and I can't justify a Windows OS nowadays, particularly since Steam on LInux is working relatively well for the (admittedly modest) games I like to play.
