Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the Settings app.

This will likely arrive in the July update for Windows 11, or at least it’s almost certain to do so. It was present in the latest preview update Microsoft just released for the OS (and quickly paused due to a bug, but that’s another story). It’s also worth noting that the ad has been present in earlier test versions of Windows 11.

Unfortunately I use Photoshop pretty heavily. I'm trying to split my different use-cases of Photoshop into different applications.

I tried Krita, and was immediately put off by how you have to input text in a different window, and can't see it live. GIMP's UI feels so different.

I'll add rawtherapee and darktable to my list to try, and I'm still giving Krita and gimp a chance. You can't expect to just slide right into a new program in a day after spending a decade in something else.
