The Linux evangelists always jump on this stuff without reading the articles. Do not be alarmed by them. This is currently just a beta feature that Microsoft is still testing.
If Microsoft announces that this is going to be forcibly installed on all versions of Windows, then we can grab our pitchforks. Ideally this would end up being an opt-in feature. If it’s an opt-out when they release, again, pitchforks.
For now? Give them feedback if you’re worried, otherwise move on with your day and do nothing.

Yeah I wish I had the time/knowledge to make Linux my main OS but it’s just unlikely to happen. I use my “gaming” PC primarily for work (like 95%), and have way too many programs and files that I don’t want to risk breaking/losing to make a switch. Maybe the next computer I build I’ll make a Linux setup but for now I’m stuck with Windows no matter what

Complaining when it is already released is too late to stop it.
They didn’t ask permission before pushing Copilot, why would they ask permission for this?
Well, per Microsoft’s website:
So it sounds like everyone on Windows 11 will get it via Windows Update
