    I just installed gnome on my laptop because they kept spamming the copilot shit.

    I use my os to get started on what im doing, not fuck around with all the repeating notifications that can’t be disabled.

      Copilot being back on the taskbar after removalafter taking my show desktop button (also removed) was it for me as well. Already enjoying it. Some quirks, but I think I’m going to spend way less time configuring than I am trying to unfuck windows once a week.

      Microsoft GitHub injects Copilot ads in their source views. It’s another Microsoft service worth abandoning.

        Could be the actual GNOME distro or they just forgot to type the name of the distro, which they’re using the GNOME version of. Sometimes that happens to me too, where I just leave out a word.

        Gnome is a desktop environment, which you can install into virtually any distro. It’s the default for Fedora, which is a good enough place to try Linux for the first time.

        i dont recommend it as a daily driver, im just testing out the latest between kde plasma and gnome desktop environments to see who handles touchscreens better.

        im one of those people that like poking the monitor.

        in-fact, I’m already omw to fedora 40.
