Remove and prevent 4 GB Gemini nano install into Chrome, on Windows 11:
Or, you know don't install software from companies owned and operated by psychopaths, like Google and Microsoft.
"Linux is hard" but godawful reg key hacks are fiiiiine, eh.
I think the overlap between people who think using Linux is hard and the people who would open regedit in the first place is basically zero.
Yup. I don't think it's hard. I used to have a dual boot setup. I'm just lazy.
And by that I mean, lazy enough that messing with regedits is something I'm already familiar/comfortable with and can do relatively quickly.
Too lazy to (re)learn an entirely new OS and file system (it's also why I'm still on Win10 because fuck Win11), learn what programs of mine are compatible and not compatible, dealing with grub/kernals anytime I need to diagnose an issue, etc.
That being said, Windows will eventually piss me off to the final breaking point/straw where my anger/spite will outweigh my laziness. And THEN they'll be sorry!
But until then... Opens up regedit with a sigh
