Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux (www.pcgamer.com)

i just updated. https://www.startallback.com/ fixed most of my issues along with https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

shame we have to do it, but even with Linux I have to do a bunch of stuff to make it more usable though at least it wont spy on you by default

The invasion of Crappilot is so close!

I'd go with Bazzite, which is what SteamOS and Fedora Atomic Desktop would look like if they had a child.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it much different to something like Pop_OS? I usually hear of Bazzite as a third-party ROG Ally OS.

On my Windows 11 machine I just uninstalled Copilot via the normal app uninstall process. Unless I'm misunderstanding, I don't think it's tied into the OS in any fundamental way. I assume most debloating scripts include the step anyway.

Kinda crap that it's installed by default though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I didn't even bother. On the machines I have with Win 11 it's either not installed or functional but entirely optional. That whole recall feature never got implemented and honestly at this point I don't know if it'll ever be.

Enjoy it while you can. Recall is going to be a hard dependency of the new file explorer because of... reasons.

Gonna get to enjoy some reg edits on that machine then!

Edit: So I just looked at that machine that is set to take all new updates, and it doesn't look to be installed like it is for that guy in the video. However, it looks like this machine hasn't picked up 24H2 yet, which is strange as I thought it was meant to be worldwide now?

MS really can't make stuff easy.

If you have any anti-cheat software on your PC, then the update is paused. Basically because it fucks it up.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago

With anti-cheat being one of the major things causing games to be Windows dependant, that is hilarious.

Windows users trying to make their adware delivery platform strapped to a program loader usable (I can install my operating system faster then they can install a program)
