Using W11 local windows account and dont sign in via hotmail and haven't seen much of the AI stuff intruding. default browser is firefox etc. But i don't have a good reason to migrate to W12 ever if they try and be subtle about this stuff.
I just commented the same thing. I disabled what I didn't want at startup and have had zero intrusive prompts from unnecessary Windows bloat.
I'm still holding out hope that Linux finally becomes a mainstream OS one day.
