    You guys do realize that you can remove copilot from Windows 11 with a simple regedit or group policy editor tweak, right? Takes like 10 seconds…

      The amount of times that windows “features” come back after I disable them via GPO on Windows 10 Entrerprise tells me that this isn’t true.

      The irony that setting up Windows now requires more command line use than Linux in 2024.

      It’s too easy for them to turn back on without me realizing it, and I’m not going to tolerate having to be that vigilant against something, my own computer, which has absolutely no reason to be hostile to me.

      And you can’t afford to fuck this one up. Microsoft Recall isn’t just a virus, it’s worse than just about any other virus. “Did you forget to double check Microsoft’s bullshit on the wrong day lol enjoy your keylogger”

      And you can skip most of the bullshit by setting up Windows using English UK instead of English USA (and then you can adjust your regional settings and keyboard however you prefer)

      yah, i have linux on all my devices save one and ive found ways to get win11 to just work without the bullshit.

      it just takes about as much effort to learn systemd syntax because everything became the systemd singularity.

      Is copilot regionalised? I’m in NZ and have been running Windows 11 for a year or so, and have never seen copilot appear.

      You know damn well how ridiculous that sounds. And if this is the answer to removing Copilot, no thanks. Linux works perfectly fine for me and my gaming needs.
