You can uninstall it with
winget uninstall cortana, never gave me any issues, works like a charm. Removing edge will break some stuff though, you need some edge render thingie for certain programs like Weather.Then remove weather
But we need weather! For crops and days on the beach and shit!
Reject crops, embrace starvation
Call me a basic bitch, but I actually prefer the inverse..
PO TAY TOES
Ahh, the Irish conundrum... do I eat it now, or do I wait and drink it later?
Boil em mash em stick em in a stew
But think of all the weight you will lose
While I definitely COULD stand to lose a few, I've heard some pretty bad things about crash diets.. You're not gonna trick me into drinking cayenne pepper lemonade, right?
Drinking? No, it only impedes the process. Trust the process. It might feel weird / wrong at first, but it will get better. You will not regret it.
...
No one who has completed the full course ever demanded a refund or left a bad review.
Reject rejection, embrace embracing?
No one is going to use weather on a PC, that's what a phone is for
Why would I pick up my phone to check the weather when I'm on my PC already?
I mean is it so much work to lift your phone up tho
It's unnecessary work considering I have weather app/website on my PC. I don't see why I'd bother
Yeah the web browser weather is even better because it doesn’t actually take up any space on the computer too. Good point
i have it in ny kde bar on my Endeavoros machine, i use arch (kinda) btw
I use Arch with KDE, can confirm that I have weather on my panel too 👌🏻
How is Endeavor OS? I'm using kubuntu now and wanted to switch to something with a lean base. I recall there were some issues with the founder leaving the project.
didn't hear anything about that, maybe you mean AntergOs? Endeavor Os is kinda the follow-up from AntergOs when the founder there stopped working on it.
but endeavor is it's own thing very close to pure arch just has a nice gui installer.
I can only recommend trying it, AUR is awesome.
Oh I think it might be elementaryOS. I remember never getting antergOS to install, good old times. That said, I do have experience with bare arch install and AUR is indeed awesome.
I no longer use arch btw. I will try endeavor this weekend, thanks!
It's enabled on my work terminal. It's actually kinda useful to be able to check if I'm dismissing class into a snowstorm or something when we're in a room without windows.
When you live in a place like Boston, you really need that app
I remember, back in the windows 10 days if you uninstall Cortana, Windows search (start menu search) just breaks
But I guess it makes sense now that this works because Microsoft itself is ditching Cortana for Bing AI
Oh shiny new thing!
Well it's just that Bing AI is what Cortana was supposed to be, but couldn't have been.
Makes sense they'd ditch it and integrate an LLM model instead.
Edge WebView, which can be installed separately. A few third-party apps depend on it.
It's basically the new Electron, without most of the bloat of the old Electron. Pretty sweet deal for app developers who need to write an app for both desktops and phones.
You are the real mvp here. Just ran it in cmdprompt and it worked like a charm. Love you, random person.
I removed edge from my system , works fine for me !
