    Even though Windows is very user-friendly. I think Windows 11 might be my last. The amount of anti-privacy that’s implemented and what I have to do just so it doesn’t constantly phone back home is kind of ridiculous.

    Off to pick my flavor of Linux.

    There’s a tool for making bootable windows USB drives called Rufus that gives you options to remove things like requiring a Windows account, TPM requirement for Windows 11, secure boot, etc when you’re cloning the iso to the USB drive.

        Yeah slowly, it started years ago but it’s been getting worse every version, slowly

        Fast would be if windows 8 had ads and non uninstallable internet exploder etc

          Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.

          (it wasn’t the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)

    anyone want bet when this is going to end? i cant remember any release after xp that not had users cry about shit M$ did. winME…epic…so many sad customers. and while win7 kinda worked ok like a cheap toy you bought it was a telemetry desaster …oh, and with IE and M$paint that were already shit in winXP. so my questions is: how many generations does it take until ppl stop falling for their crap? i once read animals need like 3 errors to change behavious in a test with electric shocks on two of three exits of a cage. three. that should have stopped most animals to use windows after 98, xp and 7. so if you use win8 or win10 or later…i better stop here
