In my view, this is unacceptable…
They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read “Learn more about this photo”, and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.
Fortunately, I don’t have to deal with this on a daily basis.
I do, it’s userspace. Expectation is that they keep their paws away after user set it up.
If someone didn’t explicitly choose to use the default then they didn’t set it up. They were just using the default.
Yeah, and that’s where the OS vendor shouldn’t meddle anymore.
