Get Off My Desktop! Windows Needs to Stop Showing Tabloid News

Microsoft’s distracting us with trashy articles when we’re trying to work.

If you put all the effort and learning needed to keep Windows from fucking you over, into learning Linux you would not only be an expert user buy now, but also potentially could build a good career around that knowledge as it is actually useful.
I'm surprised antics like this are allowed. I always enjoy unpinning edge from my taskbar. I know it is fixable through some profile fix of sorts but it is just too much of a bother.

  I enjoyed it so much that I unpinned Windows from my computer and installed Linux!
  
  same, haven't used windows for years.
At least in Windows 10 it's optional, you can set your preferences in the settings of the Notifications. The News are only on by default. I see only Notifications when there are Updates or if there is some system issue, nothing else.

  Ahh, true freedom /s
  
  Unlike Linux, on Windows you need to be a advanced user for it to offer you real freedom, but it can be done. This is why I always laugh when they say that Linux is more complicated than Windows, which is false, Windows is only somewhat more intuitive to handle if you take it as it is or if you limit yourself to the configuration menu. But when you enter the Services or the console commands, the intuitions are over, there you have to know what you are doing so as not to turn your PC into a paperweight.
