If you feel the urge to turn it off, switch to GNU/Linux. Turn annoying things off is not a solution, it is an excuse.
- recursive 10y agoIt is a solution to that annoying thing happening. Switching to Linux isn't a solution either, even if it has GNU in the name, if your problem is "run this Windows software".
- alkonaut 10y agoI think many people would find at least as many annoyances in Linux within the first hours of use. Things like multi display with different dpi isn't great in windows but the story in Linux is worse. I think the difference is in what people find annoying. I find technical issues such as driver support, font rendering or dpi scaling 10x more annoying than an occasional ad or a fear of snooping. It's more an individual choice of what kind of annoyance you prefer. If there was an OS with great ivory tower polish and great attitude towards integrity and openness I'd be interested. Right now you just have to choose one or the other.
