Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension (www.pcworld.com)

A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

I'm definitely not knowledgeable enough to contrast and compare linux distros but I'll chime in with my experience for two years now on Pop!_OS.

So far, I'm super happy! Was simple to install and setup. Aside from Photoshop, there's nothing I miss, and when in a pinch I've got photopea ready to go. I've got steam on there for gaming with little to no issues. My ds4 Bluetooth works out of the box, better than it did on windows. The options for how to install apps are great (love the pop shop 'app store').

I do a lot of go development using vscode (happy to try an alternative but the go ecosystem and plugin support is fantastic for vscode) and it's smooth sailing.

My biggest hiccups were trying to use experimental nvidia drivers but rolling back to stable releases wasn't too painful.
