Where you fucked up is installing and using WhatsApp to begin with. It’s been shit since meta bought it.
And Windows.
Exactly, if you’re still using windows in 2026, wtf are you even doing?!
Sadly, Linux currently just isn't a one-to-one replacement for Windows, which is enough of a reason for most people to stay. (I say this as a Linux user myself)
I can’t imagine using anything under Meta’s control for personal communication.
