Allow me to uninstall permanently co-pilot, edge, one drive, teams, and every single Microsoft store app that comes pre-installed and a dialogue will open.

Otherwise, I'm just gonna be over here enjoying myself on Linux.

In other news, Linux search has always been Bing-free, the taskbars are movable, and the Start menu equivalent at most has an optional Recommended feed.

Lol. That’s the most sure sign that Linux is surging I’ve ever seen.

Am I misremembering things or were these things in windows xp?

Why would an OS need a "feed" of any kind?

Does that make the tracking faster too?

Hey, that's a good sign. Reversing the direction of the downwards enshittyfication trend. Though they have one hell of a mountain to climb still...
