Bloatynosy has now evolved into BloatynosyAI and it can disable AI features on Windows 11 or Microsoft Edge that a user may consider as bloatware. This new app works on Windows 10 as well.
Specialist software in general is patchy at best. There are often FOSS alternatives… But in the same way they aren’t compatible with what other people are using.
Every day with Windows is like this. It’s a fucking nightmare. I don’t know what else to do.
Install linux :)
I tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday.
The keyboard wasn’t recognised. The fucking keyboard.
Apparently it’s fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they’re all using the earlier LTS

Truly Truly, I say unto you, install Linux; it’s what you really must do.

Right, right. Smh
Onenote, publisher, CAD. Excel (and don’t give me open/libre can do it, no they can’t. They are marginally compatible).
And a laundry list more of the issues trying to replace windows with Linux on the desktop.
If you work by yourself and don’t share docs, yea, could probably work. I need to trust that what I send is what people see.
Try to open an excel workbook with tables on open/libre and see what happens.

I have a few games that don’t run on Steam. How big of a pain is it to get them running?
This is like 50-70% of my PC usage.
You can search on e.g. Lutris if the game is supported. It’s usually just a one button install
Thanks. Looks like it’s all Wine wrappers. 🫤
It is not uncommon to find “Wine wrappers” to actually work better than on Windows itself.
Fairly easy with something like lutris or the heroic game launcher if said games are on gig amazon gaming or epic
No, they have their own launchers.
