    Pro tip: You can hit space tab space tab... to quickly cycle through them all.

    I will say though, it is mighty refreshing to go through a Linux installer now.

      Same. Was a windows user all my life. Tried dabbling with Linux a few times, but the shit microsofts doing now is what drove me to linux.

      Got several family members on it too, They do nothing but webbrowse so its been going stellar for them.

      Can’t find it anymore, but I remember someone did a DNS analysis and they are even pinging McAfee servers, before you open any apps.

    Not just installing. When updating, sometimes it tries to reset the options and change my default browser to edge.

    Didn’t Bill Gates leave Microsoft in 2008? Other than that, yeah.

      Yes, he isn’t even on the board anymore. He’s only involved in his charity, and palling around with Warren Buffett these days.

        You can totally automate the Windows install process and configuration. Not even Windows sysadmins should have to be dealing with it manually.

    Bill hasn’t been associated with Microsoft decisions in like 15 years. Yes he still owns a shit load of the company, but he’s not the CEO, he doesn’t even sit on the board. He sits in his 16,000 square foot lakefront Medina, WA mansion and gets richer.

      Public consciousness skipped Ballmer’s CEO era and apparently Satya’s name is too difficult to remember.

    I actually somewhat enjoy using Windows 10 after using a debloat tool and adding a package manager. Windows 11 is still unbearable though.

      I feel like the only think I like about windows is that everything works in terms of graphics and plug and play. Plug and play has been good to me on Linux for a while though.

      I still get graphics issues on fedora and Ubuntu on my integrated graphics chips.

    I use Linux nowadays, but I still have dual boot cause of some games. I use LTSB debloated with stopped updates and telemetry.

    As a side note, you can use O&O ShutUp10++ to do all these settings quickly so you don’t have to hunt around all the menus. It has presets too IIRC.

    Also it works on Windows 11 too despite the name.

    I installed it in VirtualBox because I wanted to try if a neovim plugin worked with it.

    The most awful experience ever. It’s so bad it’s tragic, and screams surveillance late stage capitalism. If people don’t notice that, it’s because they have slowly become used to it under the windows regime.
