Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. (www.thatprivacyguy.com)

Honestly you only need like a handful of commands to install, update and remove applications. It's not like your compiling each package by hand (unless you're into that sort of thing). Also those commands can be located in the documentation.

I've spent countless hours in the registry. Linux filesystem is cakewalk compared to the bloated abomination that is system32.
