I prefer this to Microsoft Edge stealing all my chrome passwords and bookmarks without my consent. Something they do from time to time.

Oh yeah I love his tech tips!

You’re thinking of Linus Torvalds, a popular Youtuber who gives tech advice.

Yeah, basically. Except for the S part.

I was planning on reinstalling windows on my desktop (apparently removing a basically blank hard drive prevents windows from booting) until I saw this. Now I have two arch machines lol

Install Windows > English UK > None of the bullshit

Install GNU/Linux > None of the bullshit

I also run Linux and let me tell you, you’re still dealing with a ton of bullshit. I never had to spend tens of hours to try and find the version of Windows on which I am able to get my hardware running properly only to have to trust some stranger telling me to install some home made driver to finally get everything working properly.

What does that do?

Windows treats you as being protected by European norms so you don’t have to experience all the bullshit… I’ve never seen any of the ads people keep talking about, I don’t live in Europe, I just tell Windows to use English UK as Windows’ language and then set my regional stuff based on what I actually want.

I read the article. Deceptive headline.
I dont see start menu ads? I see the account manager button will take you to your m365 account instead of your local account settings. This is what’s inside the article, i dont know where they got the title from.

Sort of, but that has nothing to do with Windows 11.

This sucks. I’m forced to use it for work…
citrusface@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Work is one thing. I’m fine with it for work. Work is my company’s data, not mine.
At home tho? Fuck that shit.
Pop!_os for life at home.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Same here, but with macOS instead of Windows at work, and openSUSE instead of Pop!_OS at home.

Just in case you thought they forgot to hate you even more for still refusing to update to Windows 11.
vegeta@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It seems the report of my demise has been greatly exaggerated, would you like to see an add?

I love this image, but you know that Clippy would be holding the gun sideways, gangster style.
