I only use the computer for word processing, internet, and playing roguelikes.

Fine. I guess I'll learn Linux 😒

Thanks for this unqualified headline.

I’m a government contractor, so I’m stuck on Windows and Microsoft products for work. It really sucks, but the government ain’t switching to Linux anytime soon… if ever. At least Windows 11 Enterprise (or Government, whatever) should have a lot of this shit stripped out. I hope.

Usually at that scale you create images with all this crap removed. When deployment time comes, the machines are reimaged from local/state IT.

I feel bad for the average home user that, at this point views more ads than content, and all this telemetry collection to boot.

the problem is so many office workplaces use windows and google, so unless you want to bring your own computer and buy a wifi hotspot to take to work, you're stuck on windows and google

My work all takes place in a Linux environment. Unfortunately, my workplace still mandates using Windows.

I don't require any Windows software for work. My boss just insists that I must use a Windows laptop, then do all of my work either in WSL or a traditional VM setup.

It's baffling.

When did PC Gamer start hijacking the back button to show more ads? Infuriating.

I just open things in new tabs with the mouse wheel click, then press ctrl-w to close the tab.

I don't play their games
