In my view, this is unacceptable…

They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read “Learn more about this photo”, and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.

Fortunately, I don’t have to deal with this on a daily basis.

      I’m not sure how you messed up, because I was able to not blame the user for decisions made on their behalf without their consent, and I too saw this post.

        Yeah, well that’s the difference between us. I don’t believe OP, and I think this is just a troll. You can believe whatever you want, but I’m calling OP a liar liar pants on fire.

          I recently moved to Linux because windows did the first time setup pop up on me when I needed to use my 5 year old desktop in a time crunch before I was late.

          When I got back, somehow despite me telling windows no to resetting my default browser to edge, my default browser was edge and windows had updated to windows 11.

          Is it possible I misread the dialog because I was in a rush. Sure. It is. But also fuck microsoft.

          Sure, because it logically follows that the troll here is the “I had an irritating and unexpected behavior on windows” person, not the “Linux users are troglodytes” person.

          FWIW, windows also did this to me as a part of the “oh god please oh please use Bing search on Edge” campaign.
