I am grateful that my past me (from few months ago) decided to study Slavic philology, instead of getting stupid tech job. I hate modern tech, including anything from big corporations.
I am also glad that I've switched to Linux (Debian ftw) to escape software enshittification.
It's not a full escape, just a path to escape.
I'd argue you cna never fully escape the problem of enshittification, unless you produce and maintain everything you use by yourself. Given how much of what we need today requires specialist labour and how impossible it is to be a specialist in everything, chances are you'd be trading enshittification for plain shit.
But using Debian at least shuts down one source of enshittification. Just because perfection can't ever fully be attained is no reason not to try and get as close as you can.
