European Union users
Because the EU at least remotely cares about it’s citizens.
Now let’s try the USA! How much does the USA cares about it’s citizens? Not all at the same time, please!

don’t get over ambitious. EU is challenging all Western tech because they see the dangers of it running unopposed within the US government.
don’t believe for a minute that any government has your interests in mind when they create policy. you only have the illusion of support when your interests and the government interests align.

True, but it seems like the EUs interests aligns with public interest a lot more often than it does in the U.S.
Id trade for sure. As an American, I am conditioned to settle for the lesser of two evils.

Am i missing something? If i had edge, store and bing forced down my throat my win11 install wouldve been long gone, but imo thst stuff was already removable before?

From what I’ve gathered here and elsewhere they never really went full throttle on all that stuff for most of us here in the EU.
Now don’t get me wrong, W11 is utter shite, and I had to essentially build a new computer from scratch to even get it running properly, but I still haven’t seen any ads or any other bullshit like that.
This is exactly why my old computer is merrily running Mint, and it likes it.

I think GDPR and related laws, really tempered what Microsoft did to the whole of the European region. They didn’t want to deal with it, so they made as much as they could, opt-in. As opposed to the north american policies of either opt-out, or forced-on.
IDK. I don’t work at Microsoft, I’m just guessing. 🙃

I love mint on my old laptop (which I’m using right now) I just wish it was more compatable with newer hardware as neither it nor ubuntu work properly on my new desktop build so I’m stuck on ghost spectre instead.

dont be fooled. stop supporting the enshittification now or be left behind. Bill Gates and the other american terrorists have caused enough harm.
you are in control once you stop using anything from american corpos.
stop supporting the enshittification!

So I could have a usable machine at work? Good. I am forced to upgrade from win7 to win11 in the lab, and current win11 crap did not appeal to me at all. And it has WSL, so at least it can actually be used for work.

I uninstalled edge from my MS PC could no longer use the standard Minecraft launcher due to missing dependencies

IMHO modern personal computing is as bullshit as XV century tournament armor.
Something should be done.

Uninstalling the store would be the biggest feature. A lot of telemetry is tied to it. I tried some of the “debloaters” out there, but the windows Installation breaks after a couple of months (I assume when ms pushes a new major update).

Can they replace the file explorer?
i know you can replace explorer through the registry but I don’t know about uninstalling it
