Wake me when you can uninstall the Chat app without powershell (which I assume is a thing but don't use Win11 so I don't know)

PSA: If you need windows, and you can install it yourself, install the Education version. It comes with slightly less crap preinstalled. (For the license just massgrave.dev that shit...)

Removing the RDP client is an interesting one. May just be bizarre to me because I use it on a daily basis.

My laptop updating itself to Windows 11 is the reason why I'm switching back to Linux.

Other than Corrana I use these on a daily basis. I'd rather they stop opening edge whenever I mistype in the start menu.

Hope they don't take away the sandbox. It is very handy for testing sketchy software.

I ignore them. Since January 2022 I've used exclusively macOS & Linux and you can't go wrong with that. macOS for my daily driver work laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) and Arch Linux for my home server, though I do enjoy using it a lot for work and if this mac ever stops working I will definitely build a framework Linux laptop. Nothing comes close to FoSS, don't have to put up with most of this proprietary business-oriented software.

I would love to see/feel Windows is reaching the point where it's a small program with tons of optional programs, but god damn, I'm so sick of these bloated fucking OSes.

Android now takes 20+ gigs, Windows takes massive amounts of hard drive. And I know someone will say there's a way to configure it, but the amount of bloat that people just accept on programs is insane.

It's silly when Call of duty Warzone requires 150 GB, it's a bigger problem when windows continues to consume more and more memory with out a good reason other than pushing new products and services most customers don't want/use.
