Anyone have a link to a guide on how to remove Copilot as much as you can? It keeps showing up on my computer at work and I'm so sick of it.

    Installing Mint did the trick for me!

    Bazzite is good if you are a gamer.

    I would but it's a work computer and it's out of my hands. I've already tried running mint on one of them and about 70% of the software we use doesn't even remotely work.

    Good advice.

    I actually did put Mint on my work computer - but I have a great deal of leverage (hard to replace), and my boss likes me, and the Windows 10 to 11 uograde had failed several times, and all we we being measured on was getting off of Windows 10.

    I've been running Mint for work since just before the Windows 10 end of life last year, and it has been lovely.

    Ask me anything, of course.

    But obviously, most folks should never do this without some kind of blessing from their employer.

    Depends on when. There are config scripts to use during installation that let you pick what you want. After installation use Windows Shutup by O&O software. I can’t vouch for it being 100% effective but it appears to do the job.

    I highly recommend Chris Titus' winutil. It has an option to strip out all AI in the tweaks, among other fantastic options.

    As per the github, you can either download the powershell utility or pull it directly from his website: irm https://christitus.com/win | iex

    Edit: in hindsite this reads like a malware ad :/ here is the link to the github https://github.com/christitustech/winutil
