    I tried to disable web search entirely and it still prioritizes it over shit on my actual computer. Its infuriating and I will be moving to Linux when I get the time to get off 10.

      Turn it off in settings. Open Search, click the three dots menu, “Search settings” and turn off “Let search apps show results”.

      If you did and they still show up, your OS is busted and you should reinstall. Pro tip: don’t use any “debloaters”, they cause all kinds of headaches.

      EDIT: if this is infuriating to the point you want to switch, skip Linux and go to Mac. Source: Linux user for over a year.

        skip Linux and go to Mac

        no, mac sucks:
        infinitely less customizable, worse game support, the command key works in a very cursed way, the os is spyware, screenshot tool sucks, the “Dock” (app bar) takes 300 to 1200 mb ram and idk why, apple silicon gpu sucks, overpriced hardware, apple account, finder (the files app) is so bad that i often had to use terminal to do what i want (finder has no way to get the filepath, and no way to create a file)

        only advantage of mac is its stability

        and if you decide to install linux on a mac, you could have just bought a normal computer for the same price and the specs would be better, also displayport isn’t supported (yet) so you’re locked to a single display on most macbooks, and also it has the ARM cpu architecture so less software supports it
