I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.
If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.
No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps
Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon

@beebles also if you want to still use the #Govware that is #Windows11 despite good #Linux like @ubuntu existing, feel free to give #Microsoft the finger and circumvent their #MicrosoftAccount requirement...
with this default login:

If you choose #Germany as location and #English as languague you'll even have less bs.
@toby not really.
I migrate #TechIlliterates all the time to #UbuntuLTS /
@ubuntu because at the end of the day, NO #TechIlliterate cares about what OS / Distro / ... they use.
All they want is being able to #consoom social media, maybe write and print a letter and check their eMails.
They don't care if they have #Windows, #Ubuntu, @bunsenlabs or #PorteusKiosk at their disposal, as long as they can click and type and get shit done...
@Theholypumpkin @toby I mean it really depends on one's use-case:
For a lot of people, the @Raspberry_Pi #Pi400 Kit is basically all they need to do their computing needs.

Personally I just tend to install @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS on most systems as it's a #64bit distro (#RaspberryPiOS is only available for #ARM, #ARM64 & #i386) and comes with support for basically everything anyone ever asked for - including #Steam.
@bunsenlabs is my go-to distro to use on #lowend systems.
@Theholypumpkin @toby @bunsenlabs
Also one major "can't use" for me - regardless of #ChipShortages and #Scalpers - is the lack of a convenient #LUKS #Encryption setup in both #RaspberryPiOS and @ubuntu / #Ubuntu for @Raspberry_Pi / #RaspberryPi.
Not gonna argue the lack of @tails or official @torproject #TorBrowser but to make #FullDiskEncryption viable and useable, it just can't be restricted to external media or having to manually fiddle around, cuz that's a pain in the rear.
@Theholypumpkin @toby @bunsenlabs @ubuntu @Raspberry_Pi @tails @torproject
But that's just me wanting to have a consistent technology stack across work and home and being able to just "install & forget" with automatic updates on for the support lifecycle of the distro.
Doesn't mean other options are invalid tho, and I'd rather be forced to use my #Pi0W on #bash / #CLI for the rest of my life than ever having to see or use #Windows ever again!
@kkarhan @toby @bunsenlabs @ubuntu @[email protected] @tails @torproject bash is always fine. Despite being an embedded systems developer intern, I never used a Raspberry Pi for an embedded project. I just used them as cheap servers.
I consider an OS in embedded to be a nuisance. I perfer bare-metal.
@kkarhan @toby @[email protected] @ubuntu @bunsenlabs I said Pi 3B+, not Pi 4/Pi 400.
The Pi 4 family are computing beast in a SBC form factor.
I considered running a minecraft Server inside a docker container with reasonable performance metric.
As it's mostly single threaded Java Code.
What really hinders the Pi4 imao is I/O speed. To run the aforementioned minecraft server I connected save the world data on an connected USB to SATA SSD).
