It's not a jerk.

GNU/Linux literally gives you the ability to control your own operating system.

You can dose yourself in radiation until you're puking all over the place or you can actually cut the cancer out.

There are plenty of questions that linux isn't a great answer for, but for this question, it really is the solution.

So a new OS is the answer for a pop up OP gets? I use Linux professionally and I can definitely tell you are deluded cuz Linux is pretty shit from a user perspective

Well, you want to stop one pop up and there's likely a Windows-based solution.

But as long as you are still on windows, there will always be another popup. Begging you to try a new service or buy a new product. When someone asks "ever again" the only answer in Linux.

Microsoft has made it clear they don't give a shit about home users.
