How about you galaxy brain “just switch to linux” people actually give some helpful advice? Clearly there’s a registry edit that can be made for Windows users that would take all of 5 seconds to complete, rather than an entire week formatting, installing, reconfiguring an entirely new OS that also requires a degree of command line knowledge.
Windows is a choice too, just like Linux. they compete on a free market. if you choose windows you choose to be harassed, and that’s just the crux of it right? i think recommending switching is valid advice. if many people thought so, Microsoft would immediately make their system more consumer friendly to stop that. that would fix OPs problem too
People who spend half their free time troubleshooting a simple driver install on their OS need to feel like it’s worth it, hence they justify it by their sense of superiority. Sunk cost.
“Driver install” is mainly a windows thing. Linux ships with drivers that just work out of the box for nearly everything, with the only notable exception being Nvidia‘s proprietary drivers. However, every distro streamlines the installation process for that since it’s so common (And Nvidia is slowly moving towards open source anyways)
The first time you connect a printer to your linux machine and you find that it just fucking works is when you will see the light.
Not only does my printer work out of the box, my cheapo printer has quality picture prints with CUPS+Gutenprint, Epson is legit cutting the quality in software by a mile, just to sell more expensive ones.
I looked through and tried everything, i only got a handful of options with the trash driver on Windows or the Android app anyway, so misconfiguration is impossible.

The person asks to get rid of these messages, there is no fucking way, it’s their platform, their rules, deal with it or leave it.
So stfu with your whiney “why Microsoft” posts and do something about it.
You get rid of 50 messages and 300 will come a week after that, they are knowing what they’re doing.
The next feature upgrade will reset your little PowerShell scripts anyway.
