@Jgmeadows Having #Skype and other #Microsoft apps keep getting reinstalled after I specifically removed them was what caused me to ditch #Windows11 for good. All of the #PC games I play work in #Linux without issue. Had to use a few app alternatives, but overall super glad to not be on Windows anymore.

@Jgmeadows I keep windows in a VM on my Linux desktop for that occasional need.

@Jgmeadows Nice recursive joke that - can't read that article without dismissing so many pop-ups that I gave up before I got there.

@TimWardCam Sorry. I read it in Brave with blockers on full so I didn't get any pop-ups.

@Jgmeadows We have few Windows machines in our house .. but did maintenance on one over the weekend, and it seems that uninstalling McAfee does not uninstall the annoying reminders. A little, continuous annoyance.

@at I'm old enough to remember when McAfee and Norton didn't feel like malware!

@Jgmeadows Yes, me too! It feels like a very. very long time ago.

@at I have one Windows machine (my Thinkpad T490 daily driver is a dual boot that came with Win 11 and I almost never boot that partition unless I'm curious about something, or trying something out.)
