I just installed gnome on my laptop because they kept spamming the copilot shit.

I use my os to get started on what im doing, not fuck around with all the repeating notifications that can’t be disabled.

Copilot being back on the taskbar after removalafter taking my show desktop button (also removed) was it for me as well. Already enjoying it. Some quirks, but I think I’m going to spend way less time configuring than I am trying to unfuck windows once a week.

They are in linux forums spruiking chatgpt/copilot as well. Mods deleted my comment the last time I told them to get lost. The rampant commercialism is so frustrating. The FOSS community has done so much to empower users/developers and give everyone the tools to learn, grow and customise their systems with amazing documentation and access to source code. And it is going to be Disneyfied within a generation with the fruits of our labor locked up behind billionaire controlled subscription services in flagrant disregard of our copyright and licences. Our kids won’t know how to tie their shoelaces without paying Nadella, Altman and their shareholders for instructions.

Microsoft GitHub injects Copilot ads in their source views. It’s another Microsoft service worth abandoning.

What distro is gnome?

Could be the actual GNOME distro or they just forgot to type the name of the distro, which they’re using the GNOME version of. Sometimes that happens to me too, where I just leave out a word.

Gnome is a desktop environment, which you can install into virtually any distro. It’s the default for Fedora, which is a good enough place to try Linux for the first time.

Assuming they used the top link, Fedora?

I hope they’re experiencing less instability than I am then, F39 is the first release in years that’s given me any problem, and it’s doing that a lot.
