I used to think that too before I made the switch to macOS. Yes it was a learning curve initially, but it wasn't unmanageable, and you start to uncover Windows annoyances that you never knew existed because you were used to them and conditioned into thinking they were normal for so long. You'd be surprised how flexible your needs are when you aren't pigeonholing yourself.

finalison Some Americans are breaking out of political echo chambers

The article may not do a good job highlighting where the left moves right but I believe that is because that movement is the status quo given obstruction on the right.

Remember when "$2,000 checks out the door immediately" became $1,400 checks after weeks of delays and the left leaning media outlets and thus liberals went along with it?

Remember when Biden dropped plans to help out with student loan debt and nobody batted an eyelid?

Remember when Medicare-for-All and Green New Deal were things liberals pretended to care about?

The left constantly moves right by accepting the status quo. They don't need to document specific examples in an article because it is the basis behind every major policy topic for at least the last 10 years.
