    I used to advocate for Linux, because I wanted more people to use it, so that more software devs would support it. I care a lot less about that since proton came to prominence. Linux still doesn’t get all the support from devs that I want, but there’s so much great software available now, both open source and proprietary, that I don’t really worry about non Linux users anymore.

    So use whatever OS you want, folks. I don’t really care.

    Im here to spread the good word for those who need/want to still use Windows, look up W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

    Things it doesn’t have: Recall, copilot, ads, cortana, TPM requirement, secure boot requirement, ms store, XBOX and gaming services.

    Once it’s freshly installed, it’s like a fresh XP install, naked. Can even group policy to turn off all telemetry. It’s fantastic for gaming.

    Since they refuse to license it to just anyone, check out massgravedotdev.

        I’ve tried that far too many times with both W10 and W11. Microsoft always finds a way to re-bloat. I’m pretty sure they have a team dedicated to making sure you get a bunch of bullshit bloat, and to find work arounds to however you removed it.

        Way less painful to start over with LTSC and then forget about keeping on top of bloat, AI, and telemetry.

    I actually laughed my ass off at the downvotes.

    The Devoted are displeased with your me-me.
