    You can uninstall it with winget uninstall cortana, never gave me any issues, works like a charm. Removing edge will break some stuff though, you need some edge render thingie for certain programs like Weather.

        Why would I pick up my phone to check the weather when I’m on my PC already?

            It’s unnecessary work considering I have weather app/website on my PC. I don’t see why I’d bother

              Yeah the web browser weather is even better because it doesn’t actually take up any space on the computer too. Good point

          How is Endeavor OS? I’m using kubuntu now and wanted to switch to something with a lean base. I recall there were some issues with the founder leaving the project.

            didn’t hear anything about that, maybe you mean AntergOs? Endeavor Os is kinda the follow-up from AntergOs when the founder there stopped working on it.

            but endeavor is it’s own thing very close to pure arch just has a nice gui installer.

            I can only recommend trying it, AUR is awesome.

              Oh I think it might be elementaryOS. I remember never getting antergOS to install, good old times. That said, I do have experience with bare arch install and AUR is indeed awesome.

              I no longer use arch btw. I will try endeavor this weekend, thanks!

        It’s enabled on my work terminal. It’s actually kinda useful to be able to check if I’m dismissing class into a snowstorm or something when we’re in a room without windows.

      I remember, back in the windows 10 days if you uninstall Cortana, Windows search (start menu search) just breaks

      But I guess it makes sense now that this works because Microsoft itself is ditching Cortana for Bing AI

          Well it’s just that Bing AI is what Cortana was supposed to be, but couldn’t have been.

          Makes sense they’d ditch it and integrate an LLM model instead.

        It’s basically the new Electron, without most of the bloat of the old Electron. Pretty sweet deal for app developers who need to write an app for both desktops and phones.
