It’s just wild that you have to do ‘dozens’ of things to ‘clean up’ a ‘fresh install’.
I had windows 10, and it was pain. Never going to 11, switched to Linux, even though it’s more difficult for gaming, everything else is better.
And you’ll still never be able to get rid of all the telemetry and annoying shit…
Windows 11 us honestly pretty good. I wouldn’t go back to Windows 10 personally.
I do run Linux pretty much exclusively though
I’ve never gone full-Linux, always dual-booted. But I’m finally over it and gaming on Linux has matured. So I’ve resolved to wipe my drive and force myself to only use Linux. Kind of excited about it! But mostly, I just don’t want Recall, bloatware, or Microsoft’s propriety bullshit and selling my data…
Maybe they don’t want to use Linux? Perhaps we should stop trying to force Linux. Use whatever floats your boat.
