"Funny" news that bring me back to the last time I decided to switch to Linux.

I updated windows 10 and when my PC booted I got a full screen to setup edge. I wasn't able to find any way to quit the screen. So I completed the set up and went to install Linux.

It's crazy how they believe they own the PC of their customers... I mean, it's in the name... Personal...

    when i first switched to linux, i kinda took a little bounce. had some little annoyances in nobara and went back to win10. but when i saw my school logo in the start menu and it said somewhere that my school is the administrator on that pc, i went right back. that was creepy af, all i had done was sign in on ms office.

    That's not Microsoft, that's just how managed computers work lol. Which means you likely stole it or bought it stolen.

    stole it? i bought every piece of it new a long time ago and assembled it myself, and i had a legitimate win8 licence that i upgraded to 10, for which i downloaded the installer directly from microsoft
