            I completely agree but for the sake of argument this could be used against any Linux distribution too. The difference though is that you’re not going to have tons of distributions of Windows with differing sets of packages.

            Don’t know what my point is since I just raised an argument and kind of solved it on my own.

              This is why I use Gentoo. I get exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The core install comes with nothing but the bare minimum, and if you don’t want a thing you just don’t install it.

        You can prob ask copilot too. But it’ll prob fuck up and upgrade instead.

        It does. I’ve been able to uninstall everything from Copilot to Edge on my second PC.

          Guess it’s not a US thing because I can’t seem to find the option to one click uninstall the Microslop bloat

            Use this: https://winutil.christitus.com/

            It’s a GUI wrapper for PowerShell commands to customize a Windows install, and has a section where you can remove AppX packages (Copilot and similar). And a lot more. I strongly recommend it.

              What I meant is having a one click uninstall. I know there is a technical way to do it but not everyone is IT trained
