they can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut if they think I’m putting that on my system.
The only way to be serious about that is to not use Windows.

I updated my proton app recently and as I was updating it Microsoft edge updater tried installing updates as well for some reason.
I don’t even have edge installed. I simply blocked it from having net access but still, they can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut if they think I’m putting that on my system.

I’d like to flip to Linux, but I have an older nvidia card that doesn’t play well with it, so until I upgrade some hardware win 10 21h2 will have to do.

How old are we talking? Most distros have legacy driver packages that go back a fair bit.

Nearly 10 now. Finding drivers wasn’t an issue, but just couldn’t get much performance out of them.
I’m probably going to update some stuff this summer and possibly flip to Amd so I’ll probably try again then.

One time I uninstalled Edge and Cortana from Win10. Some time later Windows Updates started to fail and would rollback. This continued for 6 months and by that time I stopped giving a shit since Win10 is malware anyway.
Another few months went by and I was bored enough to follow the usually useless links to MS knowledge base articles that are given after a failed update.
After another week of trying everything I came across or could think of, I downloaded the install for Edge and reinstalled. Ran the Windows Update again and the god damned thing was successful. Apparently it contained an Edge-specific update but didn’t check if it was installed or not and fail gracefully if it was the latter.
