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.

    Congrats on the consideration pal.

    I use Ubuntu for my personal desktop and work desktop, and it works smoothly without “Microsoft surprises” like this post. I also don’t game in PC.

    Want to make an easier move? If your Windows is EUFI boot, shrink your Windows partition in half, and on the other half install Ubuntu.

    Then you can slowly, in your own pase, start doing more things in the Ubuntu partition, until you’ll find yourself not using the Windows partition anymore.

    Not happy? Just remove the Ubuntu partition afterwards, and go back to Windows.
