How do you permanently turn off new outlook?

I don't like it, I don't want it, I am not going to switch to it, and I never want to see it again. For the longest time it would periodically switch to the new outlook, I would turn it off, and submit feedback stating the previous. Now it auto opens every single time. I do not ever want to see the new outlook again for the rest of my life. Do not make me switch to Mac or Linux or whatever because I am petty and will eventually become so disgruntled and delete everything Microsoft and never spend another dime on anything they make over something stupid. I want to know a way to permanently delete the new outlook off my system so it doesn't get to that point.

    The instructions to remove this are a piece of ****. I have Win 11 and I received instructions for Win 10 from Microsoft even when I told them specifically that I had Win 11. There is NO default app called Mail in the settings. I have been told to modify the registry. The idiots are guessing. I cannot turn off the new Outlook when I want to go back to the web-based server, so I am stuck with this garbage. Is there any intellectual that knows how to disable this piece of horse manure.

    Microsoft does not care. They know what's best for us.

    I would not say for us. Looks like they want to drop support for Office Outlook for Windows codebase and move to cross-platform code based on Outlook Web. And as the most of cross-platform solutions it works the same bad on all the platforms. Maybe this is better than Office Outlook for Mac.

    I'd go to Ubuntu Linux instead. More stable and secure than either Apple or Windows
