As far as I know, automatic updating does.
Others will know more about that than me.

This is not a new thing!
My journey to Linux was inspired exactly by that phenomenon!
I removed Candy crush saga (a game with some GB’s in size) and when it was absent, disk space was sufficient, when it got automagically reinstalled I ran out of disk space again. And that was back in 2019 with Windows 10 Home.
Another pain was that Win 10 installed a newer version of AMD GPU driver (R9 380 that time) of course the new driver did not work with Vegas. I had to remove the drivers completely, and then install the older version I had, that worked with Vegas. All that happened literally every second week.
I beleive Windows 10 pro would have given better control over what to install and what not, but previously I had Windows 7 home, which was just fine.

I still run win7 in a VM. Never actually found a use for it, but at least I can understand it.

So do I. Just for the sake of it, and I have some of my paid software from that era installed and activated there.

And I have Windows 3.1 as well :rofl:

I can run both Win10 and Win7 side by side, but that maxes out my 16GB RAM:

Neither do I. I made this thread to warn others against using Deep Seek after reading the Krebs on Security item I referenced. I didn’t expect all this to-do over it :slight_smile:

Nor me, diversions of topic are basically of no help.
I’m guilty of such.

I once asked AI how to use a crosscut saw and finished up in hospital.

When the topic wanders, I have no issues with that. For me it’s all entertaining, and I enjoy reading my fellow FOSSers thoughts, although I must admit that we should all try to remember the original point of the thread from time to time. :slight_smile:
