  • A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

Thanks for taking a second to research that. Maybe my search results are skewed for some reason because i double checked before posting that comment. Weird. I'll think about it more.

    No prob! :)

    I'd normally suggest installing it on a separate empty drive to test it out, but I know it can be a real bear to access those to swap em out on a laptop.

    In your case though, I think as long as you can get a Live version of Mint to boot successfully from a USB stick (like there's no flickering issues at the desktop and everything renders correctly), that's usually a pretty good sign everything will be fine after you install the Nvidia driver on a full install (not to say you 100% won't encounter any issues, it's still possible, but hopefully not!)
