Microsoft's announcement: "We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and if you’re signed into Windows with your Microsoft account."

You can install any Linux distro other than Ubuntu if you don't want ads in your operating system.

I wasn't gonna say it, but yeah... I've been using Linux exclusively on my personal systems for more than 10 years. Every time I have to use Windows, it's almost physically painful. How the hell do people put up with that crap?

They don't want to learn how to use their computer all over again. Some people really do prefer the devil they know

I couldn't look the same at Windows after about two weeks on Linux. Seriously, Windows is THIS bad.
