I may switch to linux full time in the event that I get a new PC since it looks like itā€™s starting to become better supported (that and I really want a steam deck). I legit have done some poweruser type shit before when I used the registry editor to disable copilot, so it would be right up my alley. if only that tumor of a feature werenā€™t hard coded into win11

Oh man, I remember the days, probably getting close to 20 years ago now, when I also had programs installing themselves into my computer that I didnā€™t authorize myself. I thank the efforts of the Linux inventors, engineers, and the community, for making my life better ever since the switch.

windows also occasionally has stokes like media player thinking for a solid 5s and deciding itā€™s unable that file format (mp3), but then you close it and try again and a miracle! it opens

Funny you say that. I never touch media player because vlc exists but on my work pc I tried to play a video file someone sent me from their iPhone and it defaulted to media player which promptly demanded I pay 4$ for a codec. I just closed it and opened the video in vlc instead. I could understand not including codecs for some weird formats but it was a fucking iPhone video.

Yup and iPhones use a patented codec (HEVC) by default. No care for compatibility.
