Windows 11 repeatedly promoting Edge, Onedrive and Phone link annoyed me. There must be a "Don't remind me again." checkbox.

Firefox has been reliable. Brave seems 👍. I haven't wanted Edge as my main.

I already have a Onedrive account. It was reliable. I haven't needed the Onedrive system tray icon. I just went to onedrive.com. On the other hand, I've had the Dropbox system tray icon.

I haven't wanted to use Phone link.

There are LTSC versions of Windows 10 and 11 which aren't constantly getting feature updates and have much less unnecessary crap built in. They're also supported for much longer. I've been using this version of 10 for ages and haven't had half of the issues most people complain about.

A tool like O&O Shutup also helps cut down on BS.

I try.

Not everyone can use Linux, so I try to offer what might work for those who have no other option than Windows.
