HP had a thing that popped up in my task bar that in order to hide I had open their preinstalled software that didn’t work.
Also less common were the Microsoft account things after updates and other Microsoft fullscreen things that caused serious difficulties as they wouldn’t even render right in some cases (I got something telling me to install windows 11 which wasn’t even possible for some reason and the close button was off screen, that happened the last time I used that computer after not having touched it for a couple of weeks).
Edit: Things I couldn’t do but can do now that I use Linux and learned how to:
bind my own system key combinations
select the right (GPU) driver version (though the newest has been fine for months now)
use a launcher that doesn’t open bing in ms edge when I spell something wrong and just generally is quicker.
What popups? Am I doing something wrong/right that I do not get those? What could you not do but now can?
