Yeah, I mean that's just how it goes with Windows/Mac(Ubuntu seems to be trying lol), they want you integrated into all their services.

For my part, I used aerotweaker on my win 11 machine to disable most of that junk.

I can absolutely see how that is annoying, but it's not impossible to disable with a little tweaking.

Cool, that's good info! ๐Ÿ‘
Too late for me, the only Windows devices I interact with are work PCs, and tbh, they're barely running win10, so it'll be interesting to see how the org deals with EoL. We're forced to go through data security training yearly, and still store and transmit most of said data through American servers. ๐Ÿคท Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Yeah, not a big fan of how Canonical does things. I run an Arch derivative....btw ๐Ÿ˜‰
Unfortunately they do make quite a decent starter distro. ๐Ÿคท
