Sometimes its not instant though.. sometime web search completes faster then locally installed software and because of muscle memory I accidentally opened a bing page about scrcpy (where the first result is an unaffiliated web page instead of official github page!) instead of my locally installed scrcpy

It's like when you're playing a video game and you accidentally press the wrong button and shoot a guy in the face instead of healing him.

The idea that you could accidentally open a webpage instead of launching a program is a UX embarrassment.

Nope. Today I keyboard-shortcut opened search and tried to search for device manager - no no, it starting auto-completing on browser search (luckily I'd made it Brave at least). On Android you can easily turn that off.

I ended up having to go to Run and type the .msc of device manager - obviously spelled with a shortened version that had to be googled as somehow THAT didn't auto-complete.

Windows 11 needs to be exposed for what it is, a spyware operating system. I had booted into it just to test whether a hardware device was at fault or a USB cable was, then dual-booted back into Linux.
