Back before I moved to Linux & was still on #Windows7 2019, I went out of my way to not use proprietary tools & only used open source tools & tools ported to #Windows from #Linux.
A cheap answer from me would be: #Okular & #Firefox replaced #Adobe Reader for PDFs
The thing about proprietary #Software is you have to pay for it & I was never into that๐ดโโ ๏ธ ๐ฆ๏ธ
On #Android I've been replacing proprietary Apps with open source
Windows is getting worse with each passing day. ๐

As Epic Games continue ignoring Linux / Steam Deck for Fortnite they're putting it on Windows Arm
Ignoring one smaller market while gleefully supporting another, Epic Games have announced they're getting Fortnite along with Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat on Windows Arm.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Yeah, I have heard the news.
The idea behind this is to ensure that #Windows stays Number 1 in gaming. This is a strong signal to the #gaming industry. Don't even think of supporting #steamos for desktop! Because we are WINTEL and we want to dominate the market for sure.
The question is: who needs yet another mobile PC device? There are plenty, including the Steam Deck. And the #xbox brand ain't so strong any longer ...
