    This was the main reason I switched to Linux… even if this is implemented I have no desire to go back to Windows, but I might recommend MacBooks less to my less techie friends.

      This and all the AI shit they continue to shove into windows is why I switched earlier this year. I couldn’t be happier. No windows anywhere in my home anymore.

        I’ve been on Linux for the last 4 years. I have no intention on going back to Windows. Microslop has lost all trust with me.

        The problem, is Linux isn’t ready for my Grandmother yet, but she needs a computer. Macs work, as an alternative and with the Neo it’s almost affordable. Chromebooks are just landfill, and while I’d love to keep them on the HPs, Acers, and Dells they are use to. I can’t get Linux to the same state which they were use to in Windows.

        One of these days it will get there, and Linux has moved very far and fast since I started toying with it in the mid 2010s. But it’s not ready today.

      Apparently, Microsoft is allowing you to use your Google Gmail account to sign in to Edge instead of a Microsoft account, and they are “considering” removing the forced Microsoft account requirement when signing into Windows 11 to set up the computer to begin with.

      Big fucking whoop, but still.

        There’s literally no reason or justification whatsoever to be a jerk about things.

          I offered you to read the article because this is what people do. And if you don’t want to read the article, don’t ask other people to chew the information up for you.

            Is this not a place for conversation? Or do you use these spaces to show what a pretentious dipshit you are?

        I’m not going to click some random link posted by someone who doesn’t even bother to utilize the description field when posting.
