Laughs in Europe. OneDrive is legally required to be a one-click uninstall.

You have to click to uninstall it? Laughs even harder in Linux.

Clicking things is so Windows

If you would prefer to use PowerShell...

[–] BartyDeCanter@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd prefer that things I don't want installed, aren't installed from the beginning.

I completely agree but for the sake of argument this could be used against any Linux distribution too. The difference though is that you’re not going to have tons of distributions of Windows with differing sets of packages.

Don’t know what my point is since I just raised an argument and kind of solved it on my own.

This is why I use Gentoo. I get exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The core install comes with nothing but the bare minimum, and if you don’t want a thing you just don’t install it.

You can prob ask copilot too. But it'll prob fuck up and upgrade instead.

Now if only they applied that for the browser and all the other bloatware

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It does. I've been able to uninstall everything from Copilot to Edge on my second PC.

[–] green_red_black@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Guess it's not a US thing because I can't seem to find the option to one click uninstall the Microslop bloat

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Use this: https://winutil.christitus.com/

It's a GUI wrapper for PowerShell commands to customize a Windows install, and has a section where you can remove AppX packages (Copilot and similar). And a lot more. I strongly recommend it.

What I meant is having a one click uninstall. I know there is a technical way to do it but not everyone is IT trained
