This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

Does selecting Other let you enter in some freetext? Because this is begging for some nastygrams.

    That's exactly what I intend to do.

    Other: "Why the fuck do you feel entitled to MY information on a platform I BOUGHT. Get fucked Greedsoft. Once Linux can play any game I want I'm out faster than you can say: Windows 14 coming 2026."

    It's not all games though and I keep hearing easy anticheat doesn't like Linux at all. I don't want to limit what I can play just to stick it to Greedsoft just yet and I'm a bit of a nerd for star citizen lol I can't imagine that would work well.

    Thanks for the link though! I'll have to save that for later

    every game I play or want to play works pretty well on linux

    some software tho (e.g photo editing, pcb design, video editing, etc.) doesn't work on linux

    but I don't have enough storage to dualboot (128 gb) so I'm using Linux only

    I switched from EndeavourOS with sway to kubuntu since KDE connect wasn't working

    But you didn't buy it. You licensed it.

    No, microsoft licensed it. He bought a license. If you're going to be pedantic without bringing any value, at least be correct.

    I wasn't trying to be pedantic, just clarifying that users don't own the software, they are licensed to use it.

    But go on, dick

    Just put in something random each time.

    "The voices told me to."

    "Too many chickens."

    "Been feeling real itchy lately. Down there."

    "Clippy orchestrated 9/11"

    "Microsoft Product support said to get some gift cards and then close OneDrive and Defender while they installed some important updates."
