Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.
(programming.dev)
Windows is shitty—don't get me wrong. But for all my coursework it's pretty annoying to do on Linux. Especially Office, and yes I am well aware it's a MS product and that Linux-support will likely never come. Though the limited online version of Office or LibreOffice don't quite cut it for me. Besides, running it with Wine or in a VM is too much of a hassle.
So "Switch to Linux!" is not really a solution for some. Let's hope that'll change in the future.
With that said, fuck Microsoft! I use NixOS btw.

@AnActOfCreation You can re-enable it in the Taskbar settings, though (as you also can hide Copilot the same way?).
