Bro you got me there. If I can't fully disable that crap when it eventually comes out I'm going to have to figure something out. (I swear to God if someone tells me just to switch to linux without knowing my use case for windows, I might even downvote them maybe.)

What is your use case?

Microsoft 365, two custom programs made specifically for the company at which I work and that only run on windows, and steam.

And before someone jumps in and is like "You can do all that on linux!", I don't want to use the web portal for Microsoft 365 because it's terrible(I mean, 365 is terrible in general but the web portal is worse), I won't be able to convince my boss to spend like an extra $10K to allow the programs to work on Linux, and yeah steam works on linux but it can be a lot of work to get certain games to run.

Yeah being locked into an application sucks. I was lucky that the Proprietary CAD package we run had a linux version. Sadly Siemens decided linux share was low so dropped the GUI version of it, but left us cli version for batch processing work, so back to Windows to be on latest release.
