Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon

The only reason I don’t switch to Linux is because of all the nerds on here telling everyone to switch to Linux.

But seriously, I use my laptop for work and I’ve used Windows for years and know how it works. I don’t want to switch to a completely new OS that I don’t have a clue how to use, especially when I need it for work. I also don’t know whether the software I use will work on it either.

If there’s an easy tutorial and a way of knowing whether everything I need will work, I might consider trying it.

haha lol yeah we do get a bit annoying here … For me it’s the opposite though, I use linux for work, and I’ve used it for so long I almost forgot what Windows looks like.

It's silly how people react to this, a feature that can be turned off with a simple setting toggle, by recommending that people should instead install a whole new operating system and tech stack. If opening the preferences menu and clicking a toggle is too complicated or too much of a hassle then installing Linux isn't going to be better.

  It’s not just one thing. It’s been a barrage of crap for years and years. That pile of hay gets awfuly heavy as you make it taller.
  
  They still haven’t fixed the Settings/Control Panel stuff. That has been in the works for what, over a decade now? A core feature just…allowed to rot.

  It isn’t about flipping a switch, it about how many times I’ve had to flip that fucking switch because a company keeps changing how I have my PC setup because they want more money.

    They've never had this feature before.
    
    And as far as I'm aware Copilot is a free service.

    And as far as I’m aware Copilot is a service they use to harvest your data and make money from.

    Nothing is free. Your data has value, stop giving it away in trade for some crap that may or may not be worth it while these companies make bank off you.
    
    They’ve never had this feature before.
    
    Yeah, and what of Cortana or all the services that came before that I didn’t ask for or even need but had to spend time turning that shit off because I didn’t want it and it was using resources.
