Comment on Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off.

  Lemmy users generally subscribe to the philosophy of “if everyone just thought exactly like me then the world would be utopia”

  The actual solution is to pirate Windows 10 LTSC IOT from 1337x.to (microsoft’s debloated version of W10 for sysadmins, it tends to get leaked) for a usable everyday system. The only Linux setups that are possible to daily drive (aren’t unstable) are Linux Mint and an Arch setup with Hyprland if you know what you’re doing - anything else has serious issues in my experience. Even if you got Adobe and Office apps running (which is possible in some cases), both the most used desktop environments on Linux (GNOME and KDE) are incredibly buggy messes. Literally half of all ‘distros’ are just trying to make sure those two desktop envs aren’t launching nuclear bombs on your machine

  I primarily run Linux but absolutely understand the need for things that only work with windows so I dual boot. That being said I use AtlasOS which cleans up W10 pretty good. I don’t have any of the crappiness that is currently hitting users.

  atlasos.net

  Also here’s another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.

  xbitlabs.com/best-custom-windows-10-iso-for-gamin…

  I know it says for gaming but I use solidworks as well as some other software and my idle resource usage has went way down and it runs so much better.

    Finally a decent suggestion. I’ll take a look at it, thanks!

    I had high hopes for Atlas for gaming.

    I formatted and started a fresh install. My main games (League Of Legends, Escape from Tarkov) would not install, with various errors. Then I ran into system errors with permissions.

    Also came across this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctONKQByx-M

    Back to Win10 Pro + debloat script.

      What exactly were the errors?

        Sorry, it was nearly a year ago, I don’t remember the exact details. I’m an experienced IT specialist and they were not common issues I could easily debug and resolve myself. All I remember is I followed some tutorials to address some errors, which ended up creating other errors. I gave up after a couple consecutive evenings of troubleshooting.

  Oh, oh, yes shut up. We already know some apps are available only for certain platforms and have different set of supported drivers.

  Why have the same arguments over and over. If the only disadvantage of the clearly better thing is popularity, then don’t shut up people taking time questionably promoting it.

    Because we get the same useless suggestions over and over and over that solves absolutely nothing. If you know about the limitations then do go around pitching Linux as an universal solution since that’s clearly a lie.

  The IT argument actually supports your argument, not necessarily against it. I work in IT and from home, and my company only works with Linux in limited capacities. Most of our tools and most of our clients are Windows based. Sure, I have Linux vms and such, but at the current moment switching my main OS is a hassle that I’ll go through later.

  Nobody used Adobe whatever 30 years ago and I bet that 30 years ago there were people working on video and graphics to sell products and to make photos 😁. Meaning stop using those tools. The tools don’t make the artist.
