Is this even legal?

I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

One of the many reasons why I will never return to Windows.

I still have to use 10 for work, but on the plus side it's a 5 day per week reminder of just how terrible it is.

In the same boat. and recently of all the issues that could pop up, Teams has decided to become a buggy mess. Their own software on their own OS just stops working after just one year of using the machine.

Not to speak of all the other slowdowns and child-diseases that the thing has developed.

Meanwhile my desktop install of Linux is nearing its 10th birthday, has all sorts of legacy configs that I never bothered to clean up, has moved drives 3 times and to a different filesystem+partitioning scheme, changed bootloader... Yet still is way less of a pain than Windows at work.

What do you use the rest of the time that you prefer? Serious question, because I've been looking at Windows alternatives for a while and I like to hear what's working better for others.

Everything with a GUI runs POP_OS, because I like how much control I have over app windows via the keyboard. When I'm hyperfocused I like not having to take my hands off the keyboard. It has really good tiling too, but I think vanilla Gnome has mostly caught up in that department.
