If you MUST use windows for work or something, at least install OpenShell. Otherwise, use Linux. It's so easy to switch for most use cases. Even gaming on Linux has come a very long way.
Said like I'm the admin of my work PC. Doesn't matter though, I'll have the IT department policy edit this out of existence the same way I did their stupid windows 11 splash page ads.
Fair point. I convincing the IT department at the past couple of jobs that I need it for productivity, and they can firewall it if it makes them feel better (I'll let them know run updates are available, and they can push the update).
I wouldn't do that as that's not supported by Microsoft and I'm sure they will do everything they can to break it.
While I appreciate the sentiment, I'm not walking on eggshells while using my own (or my company's) computer. If/when they'll break it, either the community will overcome, or I lose the tool. Until then, though, I'll keep using the tool that has proven benefits to the end users. I mean this will no disrespect to you at all, fuck Microsoft.
