    Sorry to be that guy: Install Linux?

    But seriously: l’d like to know as well.

      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

      Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

      There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

      But seriously: another comment here points out some tool

        Cool info. If you were going for a copypasta type thing you nailed it.

      Side note as an ex-Windows user (from Windows 3.1 - W10) - Go with OSX and all the Windows-ification plugins you can find. Mac out windows Windows. If I didn’t game so much, I’d go to all Linux and OSX devices.

        Switching to Apple looks to be expensive. OP may not be able to use their existing machine and would have to spend a few thousand to buy a Mac. All that just to avoid an annoying pop-up?

        I don’t see any of this. It’s probably because I ran christitus.com/windows-tool/ right after install.

        I think it disables all the annoying parts of windows and you just get left with a stable OS.

    How about you galaxy brain “just switch to linux” people actually give some helpful advice? Clearly there’s a registry edit that can be made for Windows users that would take all of 5 seconds to complete, rather than an entire week formatting, installing, reconfiguring an entirely new OS that also requires a degree of command line knowledge.

      Spend a “week” installing mosquito net >> spend 5 sec for each mosquito

      I don’t want to force anyone to use Linux, but everyone have the choice, to have a better experience.

      No, it doesn’t takes a week to install nor endless time of os configurations nor galaxy brain, in 2023.

      People who spend half their free time troubleshooting a simple driver install on their OS need to feel like it’s worth it, hence they justify it by their sense of superiority. Sunk cost.

    • TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I use Windows for gaming but if we need an in-depth technical solution every time Microsoft comes up with some new annoying BS, maybe Linux users have a point to suggest something else. It’s not like the Registry is exactly intuitive to the average user.

    Om Windows 10 you have the option to turn off showing news about new features. I guess it would cover this. Try Google it.

    • dangblingus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Windows works (more or less) out of the box. Linux, doesn’t work out of the box, every single thing you want to install takes 5x as long as it would on Windows. Gaming is still a mess. I’m not arguing that Linux isn’t more capable with less bloatware and shit, but it’s definitely not something your average computer user could ever wrap their head around.

    You could try clicking Yes once, and then immediately switching it back, either to DuckDuckGo or Google.

    Perhaps use redirect scripts or plugins or apps. Windows often about registry so do try that.

    Have you tried clicking “Don’t switch”?

    source
    • ripcord@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, it continues to prompt occasionally afterwards.

      They have a bunch of these things that get prompted periodically even if you said no initially (like things on install/upgrade). SOME of them only come back once. But Microsoft dynamically chooses what to push on people so that can change at any time.

  • rockhandle@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’ve never seen this appear. Is this in chrome? Anyway, like some people here have suggested, you can use a debloater script or something similar. I personally use O&O Shutup10. Hopefully enabling some options in there would work. Or you could just accept it and then change your search engine back to whatever you use lol.

    I forget the name of it, but I remember there is (or at least used to be) a tool that would give you more granular control over the stuff that’s under the hood of Windows.

    If you search for “Windows God mode tool” or something along those lines, your should be able to find it.

    Where/when does this popup come up? Is it in your browser, is it a Windows notification?

    The most recent time I think I saw this was the latest Windows 11 update, but you can just click No and it goes away. Microsoft is being annoying persistent about getting people to use Bing now because of ChatGPT and Edge though. Hopefully there is a limit, if not the annoying Linux recommendations might actually start to have some merit.
