It's never been easier to ditch Windows or MacOS for personal computing. Make your employer pay for anything that isn't running an Open Source OS.

I've also been backing up YouTube channels en-masse while yt-dlp works and hard drive storage is cheap. FAANG is hard to escape but you can take serious strides in cutting them out of your life. It's worth every second it takes - consumer technology is designed to make you miserable, these days.
