It’s like Microsoft wants Linux to become the general tech circle’s OS of choice. They just keep making it worse. I don’t personally use Linux, never have, but I also recognize that it’s market share is growing…

Does this apply to 11 Pro too?

Not me cuz my computer is not ready to support Windows 11 apparently which I’ve never been happier about

They laid the foundation for this with the constant tool tip pop ups and nags demonstrating new functionality. Those and the onedrive and 365 adverts, thinly veiled as “settings” that appear following update installation.
I think this is a good test to see how many people will bail.

You can turn it off in settings under personalization

Well, this gives me another reason to stay on windows 10.

Was I high or do I remember them saying windows 10 would be the last windows?

Some of you guys act like default windows settings are set in stone 🤦♂️ this can be fixed by literally opening up your settings and toggling it off. What can’t be fixed that way can be fixed in other ways smh
Edit – lmao top comment basically says the same thing I said, sorry I didn’t spoon feed it to you and assumed pcmr users could handle their own computers 🤣 maybe soon windows will come with a USB 6.9 butt plug that auto configures every aspect of your PCs to each of your personal preferences based on how you squirm in your chairs 🍻🍻

I am exploring Linux Mint..
Watched some videos and stuff. It has good support for steam, emulators, epic stores , discord, and all.
I am not trying to figure out if I can run this on a VM. I looked at Oracle VM, but haven’t had the chance to look at it in detail.

Windows 11 is now officially on my shitlist, no longer will I install windows on computers of any of my relatives and friends, they will get windows 10 (as long as it’s not yet EOL) or Linux, and they will learn to like it.. Because I will no longer install Windows 11, I will no longer fix Windows 11, I will avoid it like the absolute fucking plague it is.
From here on out, if anyone comes to me with this unethical piece of garbage masquerading as an operating system they should go get it fixed elsewhere..
I’m really hoping I’m not the only “tech person” who feels this way, because repeatedly disabling it and marginalizing this predatory and monopolistic behavior it isn’t going to do shit, we need to boycot that cancer now or prepare for a dystopian future of operating systems that run on ads and ads alone (with a sprinkle of inbuilt malware labeled “telemetry”)

Fuck off. Microsoft.
They now want to transform the desktop into Facebook home page.

Does adguard work against this?

1Password is my favorite password manager, so I don’t mind seeing ads for it! /s

I wish more people supported/operated Linux. The only app I was missing was TIDAL and some enterprise apps. Worth noting I am a software developer that works with the Ubuntu distro for work though so I am by all accounts a super user

Hate these verge posts; that site is evil. Well, I don’t know about windows users, they might like it.

Stick with windows 10 till death
Or
Switch to Linux

Also kinda ironic, we used to get rid of adwares and now they are becoming part of our life, hmph.

It’s weird, I’m fully updated and no ads still. Why? Because I disabled personalization the moment I installed W11 and it’s even weirder people keep saying that the settings will change themselves and reset to on, cause I check my settings every update and it’s the way I left it. I’ve never gotten an ad on W11, my settings never change by themselves either.
Also the people saying to use 10, personalization settings are still on W10.
It should be opt out automatically, but do believe a company would choose that when 90% or more PC users don’t care?
