It's because of shit like this that I'm glad I switched to Linux.
I want to dual boot because I prefer Linux for everything but some niche games. Just never got around to it. This is pretty motivating.
My reason was that I had heard windows 11 was considering ads in their file explorer. Win10 already has enough prompts pushing edge and OneDrive. That, and many of my professors use Linux, and the ease with which they would install Python or C compilers was too much.
