Did you also know there is an option to disable suggested apps, which removes every and all notifications you may consider ads? Did you disable it, or do you like complaining too much? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Scrath@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago Oh I have it disabled. Pretty much among the first things I do with any new windows install is disable and uninstall as much bullshits as microsoft preloads.

At least they are still better than samsung in that regard who preload facebook on their phones as a system app thereby preventing the user from uninstalling it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MJBrune@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago Most distros have a whole app that shows you recommendations for programs to install. permalink fedilink source parent
