From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pop ups? Huh? Sounds like you need an ad blocker for your browser then.
That is not the case. Default builds of Windows 10 & 11 can send annoying notifications like "Scanned your computer blah blah...". And I assume there are lot more. I mean if it isn't popup, then what it is? I mostly disable notifications completely by the way. Probably there are more than that, idk.
Ah windows notifications. Ya most OS have that even Linux. With that said it takes about 2 seconds to completely disable them and you never have to deal with it again.
Calling windows unusable because of a tiny window appearing on the bottom right corner is just being dramatic.
It’s hard for people to accept your point when you’re being over the top dramatic about a feature that is easily disabled.
It's like that guy that was upset his computer wanted a wifi connection and that it was "giving sensitive info to Microsoft!"
Bro just stop using the internet if you're that scared.
Do you really think just because of that? You guys are dramatizing a lot than me. I just say that is annoying, defaults are not fine. Tweaking it consumes my time a lot. Don't miss the whole point. It's just a tiny tiny little bit example of how awful and annoying defaults are.
The only one being dramatic is you.
How it is dramatic? You are the one who took offense... It's not hard to just understand defaults are bad.
