I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a “Skip”/“Don’t remind me again”. Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I’d expect not to be bothered again. It’s really a built in ad more then anything.

2023-08 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5029351)

    Good point, adds to the mountain. I may just see if I could run a windows VM at this point tbh.

      I switched to Pop!_OS recently and Windows runs faster in a VM

      (because you’ve only installed the 1 app you need to run not your entire life, and then snapshot it after debloating so it’s always the same)

      If you don’t play games like valorant, and only need windows for specific tasks then going with a windows VM is a good option.

        We’re getting there! There’s still games that run much better on Windows, and some games still don’t have Linux support. But the numbers are shrinking like crazy (THANK YOU STEAMDECK, Steam is the best company for game health as a whole.)

        Also with VR… well, I don’t actually know. I haven’t tried, but will my index be fully functional (and run as well) on Linux?
