For years I had that turned on in Windoof 10 as it sounded like: “we see you’re regularly doing X or having problem Y. Here is a way how to make X simpler and a solution for Y.”
Instead it was nothing like that. It was literally nothing at all. Probably they just tried to shove some ads down my throat, which I luckily didn’t see.
But it has become clear enough: it’s not about helping users with useful tips and recommendations. It’s about luring them into buying some stuff.
They can find new clever euphemisms, like EA did with their “surprise mechanics”. But it is what it is: ads, digital noise, a waste of resources and probably one of the last incentives I needed to fully switch to a good Linux distro.
I used Windoof just for gaming anyway. And as I’m already working professionally with Linux, it will hardly be a miss.
