I think I am really going enjoy this new feature in Windows. Enjoy laughing at Microsoft’s absurdity while using the latest new and actually useful features in Mint 22.3, that is.

Yup, never gonna run Win11

Yeah, I know. Install Linux.

I'll do that when every single gaming title works flawlessly on it and not a second before.

Until then, I'll utilize whatever workaround the community comes up with to strip this shit out of File Explorer.

P.S. Many games still don't work on Linux. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Between Lutris and Steam, I've been able to run every game flawlessly -- several with better performance than I've seen on Windows, even.

The only limitation is anti-cheat software that some games (Team Fortress, Battlefield, etc.) require. I don't play those types of games myself, so it's not an issue for me.

I've never had a single issue with any game on Linux. Just do it

Oh you holding out for those few microtransaction storefronts that are SO much fun?

Sucks to still be a windows user and not want to learn how to use Linux.

Let's face it. Windows search couldn't find shit before - what's a few more hallucinations?

If I need to run some bespoke piece of software that doesn't run on wine or a VM of older windows - I'll find an alternative. I'll leave Microsoft to its oily rags and matches.

What, you mean it wasn't there already ? It's the only place where it would be actually useful.
