Right just in the browser, start menu, notification panel, and whatever it’s called that pops up when you accidentally hover your cursor over the weather thing in the bottom right by the clock/calendar for .2ms too long.
Supposedly it’s being trial run in file explorer on 10/11 and will be present at launch on 12
I see zero adverts. What you describe is news to me. I wonder if it's regional?
I use machines daily that are Win11 home and Win11 pro.
The only change I've made to Win11 is turn off web search in the start menu.
You don’t have to remove candy crush etc from your start menu? Lucky you. I certainly did.
My solution was to migrate to Windows 10/11 Enterprise. No ads, no nothing. The LTSC versions are even better but they’re a little too barebones for my use case. Keep in mind that those SKUs cannot be activated legally but as with anything: There are ways to circumvent that issue.
But.. DAE Windows bad!?
Well, apparently you need to illegally use the enterprise edition to make it tolerable, so...
You make it sound as if I have to evade the police and steal it from a store lmao. It's pretty openly available and even a simple utility like RUFUS can disable all the shit in the iso itself before making it a bootable drive.
Naw man. This is a linux enthusiast sub. It's just how they are. Kinda fun to wind them up, though. XD
Still, you have to violate the TOS and forego any kind of official support to get a usable product...
Why do you even need official support for windows?
