Agreed. Copilot hijacked my Windos, and I feel much more convenient using Linux now.
I installed Windows 11 with a local account, disabled trash like OneDrive and Copilot and haven't had any problems with them coming back.
Any market share that Linux can claw away from Microslop is always a good thing.
Wait for the big yearly update, that's when uninstalled things crawl back. 25H2 was released in 2025 September, but it didn't install automatically on some hardware so you maybe still on 24H2. If you are still on 24H2 expect annoying notifications about buying a new computer around 2026 September, as that's the EOL of that update. You can force these updates even if your hardware is unsupported with with FlyOOBE
Using W11 local windows account and dont sign in via hotmail and haven't seen much of the AI stuff intruding. default browser is firefox etc. But i don't have a good reason to migrate to W12 ever if they try and be subtle about this stuff.
