Pearl is a Dell XPS-15 I got today, so of course I have to deal with the annoyances.

Installing Docker

First install WSL, in a Pearl shell, wsl --install --d Debian

Stupid Windows 11 things

My own page is here, Windows 10 and Windows 11

Ads ads ads!

I've removed McAfee and the Web thing for McAfee (Add and Remove Programs...) While I was in there I removed Alexa and Microsoft Family.

Today, a notification reminding me to use McAfee called "Dell Digital Delivery" so I uninstalled that too.

I wanted to use Edge because Microsoft is so determined but it was packed with so many ads I gave up and installed Firefox. Also, there is still no Psono add on for Edge. Firefox is full of ads but they make it easy to turn them off.

That box down there in the lower left corner with the temperature is fine, but ads pop up when I just hover over it. OMG! It's so irritating.

I am assuming I will remove the Dell program from the task bar as soon as I find out why it's there. (Obviously it is an ad and its there to sell me something. Probably a warranty.)

I will give One Drive another try. I mean, come on, it won't hurt will it?
