     @skylar @mona @SuperSnekFriend The time you spend on beating windows into submission to turn off microsoft bullshit "features" every single update is better spend on learning how to daily drive linux.

     @mona @SuperSnekFriend so true
     lots of folks around these parts bitch about windows cause they don't know how to use it
     microsoft literally gives you the policy templates to manage practically every setting in windows, including copilot

     @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st why would i ditch windows when I can run Linux natively on top of my Windows forever losing the need to access Linux through a VM or duelboot and keep all the things I need on Windows?

     @BronzeAgeHogCranker @Aether @SuperSnekFriend linux slowly transforming into OSX is pretty lol. Flatpaks are basically how mac apps work (mac apps are literally just self contained uncompressed files) and the atomic/immutable root update system is also how mac works.

     bazzite.gg is a really good "justwerks" gaming distro, also they're based on Fedora Atomic Desktops which is doing some extremely cool shit around how system images/updates are released... tl;dr it's a lot more like how iOS/Chromebooks handle OS updates where you don't have to worry about stuff getting out of whack between updates

     @skylar @mona @SuperSnekFriend and if you don't know how to do this stuff manually, you have wonderful tools like chris titus' winutil: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

     i'd also recommend explorerpatcher for those on windows 11 who want to bring back windows 10 features: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

     if you want to go even further, you can use the answer file method when installing windows, customizing it exactly how you want it to start as: https://github.com/memstechtips/UnattendedWinstall

     a good windows install using these simple tools is a much better experience than linux is in my personal opinion. that isn't to say that linux is a bad experience if you know what you're doing and really like tinkering around with things, but at the end of the day i just like the way windows works more. it makes it easier for me to do everything that i need to do instead of fiddling with things as much. and as much as it sucks, most software either works better on windows or the commercial software is leagues better than the foss stuff. i still have yet to find a colorblind filter better than windows' for instance, and the one that someone made for me for linux just didn't work and neither of us could figure out why... which seems to be a trend when it comes to me and linux lol.

     right now i'm running win11 and i don't even have notifications, the action center, copilot, cortana, bing search, any telemetry garbage, stripped out services, and more and it only took a little bit of work to setup. explorerpatcher was a godsend too, because i'm much more familiar with win10. win11 gets a little toooo modern with things, i think win10 is a really good sweet spot between looking nice and being functional.

     that being said, i had to upgrade to windows 11 because my win10 install decided to shit itself. i had that happen with a mint installation though recently too so it's not like linux is free from random issues popping up like that either. don't know what happened to the windows one, but the mint one i think it's because something updated without another thing updating first and it destroyed it to the point i had to just do a fresh install.

     @SuperSnekFriend @Aether I'll install Linux then install a VM for Windows because I need to share my builds with my coworkers, who still use Windows.
