Bloatynosy has now evolved into BloatynosyAI and it can disable AI features on Windows 11 or Microsoft Edge that a user may consider as bloatware. This new app works on Windows 10 as well.
Windows doesn’t have any Unix roots. MS built MS-DOS from QDOS, a clone-port of CP/M, which comes from PDP mainframe software. Windows was written mostly from scratch to run on top of MS-DOS, and was influenced by Visicorp and Apple’s GUIs.
And modern desktop Linux isn’t a good example of an alternative. It’s much more fiddly and less polished than Windows (though Windows 10 and 11 have not been as polished as 7). Even Mac OS is more polished, and does have true Unix roots (via BSD), though it does have a lot of the Apple “fisher-price” product design.
