    Agreed. Copilot hijacked my Windos, and I feel much more convenient using Linux now.

    I installed Windows 11 with a local account, disabled trash like OneDrive and Copilot and haven’t had any problems with them coming back.

    Any market share that Linux can claw away from Microslop is always a good thing.

    Using W11 local windows account and dont sign in via hotmail and haven’t seen much of the AI stuff intruding. default browser is firefox etc. But i don’t have a good reason to migrate to W12 ever if they try and be subtle about this stuff.

      I just commented the same thing. I disabled what I didn’t want at startup and have had zero intrusive prompts from unnecessary Windows bloat.

      I’m still holding out hope that Linux finally becomes a mainstream OS one day.
