This 16-bit looking shit ad that I didn't ask for and can't remove unless I choose yes or no was the last straw for me. Baking Language Model AI (Copilot) is nothing I want, just like I didn't want Cortana, or Edge. Or the dark pattern requests to consider edge. Nor the new Windows setup screen that sometimes occurs after an update which is just a sly way of shoving another option to make Edge my default browser again.

I've moved my laptop to Linux around December. Now I'm going to move my gaming PC over to Linux. I'm just done.

Update for those in the future: I wiped Windows (after recording my OEM key) and installed Nobara.
