Microsoft Finally Realizes Nobody Wants Its Windows 11 Preinstalled Bloatware
Five more Microsoft apps nobody uses will have the uninstall option enabled soon.

This is all so foreign to me now. I'm not forced to keep anything on Linux.
How to tell if someone uses Linux? Don't worry they will tell you.
I use Arch BTW. Sorry couldn't help myself.
I dual boot steamos which I believe is built on arch lol but I don't use Linux for much tbh I'm a carpet installer and I'm just into tech stuff as a hobby lol
Fuck, editing for proper formatting.
Literally no one cares
I care, that makes one!
I care because I use Arch BTW too
A vegan, Linux using crossfitter walks up to you. What do they tell you about first?
I use Arch btw?
Seems pretty appropriate in a thread complaining about an operating system.
Sometimes people aren't looking for a solution and just want to grumble
It should tell people something that so many Linux users are happy enough with it to want to talk about it.
Computer OS veganism.
If meat eaters complained about meat as much as Windows users complained about Windows...
I don't understand why A) Linux users can't be excited to share something they are passionate about and B) Windows users aren't interested in hearing about an alternative when Windows sucks so bad.
Unlike veganism though it is actually correct
What is "incorrect" about veganism?
Nothing actually, I was just making a stab at vegans because they get so much flak lol.
I actually think the choice to go vegan is awesome, really it's the ones that just shit on others that rubs me the wrong way, a good bit of Linux users do this as well. Personally I would never use windows unless it was absolutely necessary (I am a DJ and Producer in my freetime and I had a "pooprietary" controller that only worked with traktor, but now Mixxx has support for it so we cool now)
Even then, whenever I did have to use windows for that specific use case, I had it on a dedicated machine running an extremely stripped down version of windows (ameliorated) and it wasn't a machine that I connected to the internet.
That being said though, I seriously respect people's freedoms and even if I have different ideas or opinions than someone else, I'm not going to tell them they're wrong unless it could harm them or something like that.
That being said though, and this could just be me, I think going vegan would be more difficult than switching to Linux in today's day and age. With Linux you just need to find alternatives and integrate them into your workflow (there's layers to that of course). With veganism, you have to inspect every single product to make sure it doesn't contain animal products (which also has layers to it).
Hell with Linux, you can even use WINE to use windows programs, veganism doesn't have anything like that! You can't just wrap a cheeseburger in lettuce and call it vegan!
It's honestly pretty awesome, genuine vegans are really strong people, and although the radical ones had put a sour taste in my mouth at first, over the years as I learned the hardships of their way of life, they definitely have earned my respect!
Article on subject
Someone brings up something relevant to the subject
REEEEE
I mean it's relevant to windows like taco bell is to McDonald's.
Plenty of people here don't use windows so I guess you don't want diverse discussion on a niche site. Okay makes sense.
It's the new iOS vs Android with everyone acting like tribal high schoolers weeee
Yeah, I was painfully reminded of that when Ubuntu helpfully uninstalled xwayland for me on an ‘apt upgrade’…
Not even systemd?
I just googled "Linux distro without systemd" and google gave me a list of 11 right off the bat without even having to click any links. So yeah, not even systemd.
You can just install another init system

KNotes has entered the chat…
Edit: apparently it’s not KNotes proper - just the built-in KDE sticky notes applet that is bundled with the environment and is impossible to remove if you want to use KDE Plasma.
I have KDE and I don't even have KNotes on my laptop. What do you mean?
Updated my comment. Apparently it’s not KNotes proper but a simpler version of the sticky note applet bundled with Plasma. I tried finding ways to remove it, but the consensus seems to be that you can only suppress its activation, not remove it completely.
