Am I the only one around here that thinks MS needs to listen and not ignore the fact that not everyone uses their pc for social media?

I use FVWM, and it can actually be configured to prevent focus-stealing.
StevenAlleyn
FVWM?

this is one of the biggest reasons i left windows, it bugs me SO much. Now the only issue i have is with the steam ads.

At work there’s an app which has a launch measured in *minutes,* I naturally move on to other shit. It’s ruined *so many trains of thought*
abdulado
Oh that horrifying. You deserve more money.

Most Linux windows manager disable focus stealing and configure how windows are get/don't get focus.

Whoops, meant to say have a toggle to disable it.
StevenAlleyn
I’ve used Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kali, Manjaro & Raspbian & have yet to find a single one that lets me disable it, but perhaps I’m looking wrong.

For Xfce "Settings Manager->Window Manager Tweaks->Focus" For Cinnamon "System Settings->Windows->Behavior". Not sure for Gnome/KDE -

-never really used Gnome and haven't used KDE extensively for over a decade. The other stand alone WMs you would have to look up the docs.
