Switch to Linux!

As a Linux user myself, let me tell you that telling people what they should/must do this is how you make people plainly ignore you and think you're just an annoying person.

People will keep using what works for them, be it Windows/Linux/MacOS even if with minor inconveniences. Same goes for browsers/services/etc...

"Microsoft continually makes their OS worse, but every time they do, Linux users come into the comment section telling me I should switch, so I'm not going to."

Get AutoCAD on Linux and I'm there buddy. Some of us need to work.

True, the biggest sore points of Linux is Windows software support. This probably won't work for you because you seem to use AutoCAD for work, but for me I was able to just find alternatives to programs that were not available anymore when I switched to Linux.

For sure. I would love to ditch Autocad, but that would require me convincing my entire industry. I hate AutoCAD.
