    No means yes right? I’m gonna say no means yes, have 100G of smartphone games and spyware disguised as a web browser or an AI assistant!

    Oh and were gonna do it now in the middle of you compiling a big project or running a fluid simulation. Also when we’re done punching your dick in we’re gonna ask you to try office 365, teams, and onecloud like we did the last 50 times.

      Yep, so on top of the regedits, I should have mentioned the need to run additional software just to get it to behave. Things like BC Uninstaller to remove the bloat and MSEdgeRedirect to force the baked-in URLs to use my default browser.

      Linux is so much easier imo. For full disclosure, I’m “only” using Mint, but still – what an improvement!

        I just love how during install you can already specify what you need and dont need on linux, and even after install I end up having more programs on windows, half of which is just programs like 7zip, vlc, notepad++, wacom software, I could go on, and this all built into kde plasma

          I wish someone had told me all this years ago! I always heard people claim that you had to be super techie to understand how to use Linux, so I stayed away until last year when someone on lemmy finally convinced me to try it on an old gaming laptop of mine – a laptop that could barely run Windows anymore. It works just fine with Linux!
