    It's light and free, not filled with bloatware, doesn't force you installation of apps to keep using it for free and doesn't feel like adware. Great software, I use it for Google Play Music on my PC.

    This f***ing program completely deleted my Ubuntu WSL server on Windows 11 - which it then took 2 hours to restore from restore point. Please be catious with this program if you are using WSL for local development!
