why not both?

yeah... I can't say I have a lot of hope with that lot.

Maybe it's paint, or beetroot juice.

I am not a fan of the design inconsistencies or the apparent desire within Microsoft to change the entire GUI style every 5 minutes, but the way Windows has turned into bloated AF adware/spyware has been the main force behind me moving to Linux. I would have been happy with Windows XP forever if they just kept updating DirectX etc.

My other major annoyance is how Windows Update now forces itself on you, forces a reboot, then takes forever, and of course will randomly fail to apply the updates. Whereas with Linux, the updates just.... work. And they don't take half an hour to do nothing.

And if you can solder you can usually just replace the switches.

I genuinely don't understand what's wrong with someone like her. A brain tumor or something would make sense, other than that, I can't fathom it.

Black Mirror? That's the only show I had to stop watching for my sanity, and I like some pretty dark stuff.

Beat me to it!

Given how deranged things like AI Dungeon are, I can't see this going well.

4GB? More like 400GB...

I never switched from Firefox. Why anyone used Chrome in the first place is beyond me.

As others have said, there's going to be some registry setting you can change to negate this. Short term, this should work, but may need to be repeated if any updates revert the change.

The long term solution is to just stop using Windows, because it's clear Microsoft is intent on turning it into a bloated, ad-infested piece of trash.

Windows 7 (or arguably XP) was the last decent version of Windows, in my opinion. Once I saw what was coming next, I started dabbling in Linux. Now I use Linux most of the time. It's definitely a big change, and there's a lot of new stuff to learn, but I love having an operating system that doesn't look like a corporate junk mailer pamphlet.
