  I don’t mind the idea of CoPilot. The problem is that CoPilot works for Microsoft, not for me.

  It would be cool if the OS-AI could take a look at the Windows Event Viewer, find out everything that is misbehaving, and figure out if there are actionable fixes. Alas, it will take further AI and harness development before that sort of thing is practical. Probably several years from now?

  In any case, you can uninstall the AI modules of Windows, and turn them off. Of course, Microsoft will try to make an uninvited return. I use the paid version of ShutUp10 to have it automatically uninstall CoPilot and to reassert my rules whenever Microsoft tries to make an unwanted change.

  I recommend ShutUp10 for a pretty simple reason: It has a simple GUI and explains the impact of the options you tweak. For people who aren’t interested in becoming a master technician, that is very helpful for just getting on with one’s day without sacrificing privacy.

  I prefer Valve. 800lb gorilla, main driver of Proton, not likely to suddenly vanish or change leadership, brand recognition means many people will develop extensive documentation and implementation specifically for SteamOS. I want to install an OS once, and never be forced to change it on that machine.

  I am waiting for SteamOS Desktop. I want to ditch Windows, but also want a company dedicated to gaming to provide a distro. Odds are, it will be user-friendly and standardized enough for power-casuals to allow me to do what I want, without worrying about obscure Linux technical stuff.
