    Way back when, I loved Windows XP. I was always dorking around with it, seeing what I could do to personalize and customize it. I had that mindset until Windows 11. I just couldn’t anymore.

    So I finally tried Linux. It turns out, this is exactly what I wanted back in the XP days. I just never had the need to try it. Now that Microslop has forced my hand, I’ve experienced the environment outside of windows. As such, I really don’t see what they could possibly do to bring me back.

    What utility do widgets have, anyway? I’ve only ever viewed them as an OS native yahoo-style front page. Among the first things I turn off on any Wimdows machine I use.

    It must somehow make MS a bunch of money for it to get so much of their attention.

    I don’t trust them to not re-enable it. uninstalling windows instead ensures they won’t reenable it…
