TacticsConsortListen. I do not want fucking ads in the start menu. I have no idea how to code and I can’t use the command terminal to save my life but I swear to god I’m going to switch to Linux before I touch Windows 11 with a 10-foot pole
Windows Pro doesn’t have these issues, only Home. Even better, LTSC has even less nonsense, and only gets security updates (no feature updates, so nothing odd happening).
Get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.
Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.
And you can permanently license it using Microsoft’s own scripts.
This all applies to Win11 too, if you just have to use it.
FaceDeerNo, clearly switching to an entirely different operating system is the easier option.
Worked for me, but until there’s a consensus on how to onboard the layman on Linux, we need to stop bitching that the layman doesn’t use Linux.
What Linux is missing is a “just works” distro like Mint, that isn’t based on Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS but on something with newer packages and kernels, with >50% market share so you can easily google duck distro-specific issues.
Basically what Ubuntu was, 18 years ago. Nowadays, Ubuntu is still a good beginner’s distro, but every beginner asking what to start with is confused by all the experienced Linux users shouting at them about how the most popular distro is evil and shit, for reasons a beginner doesn’t understand.
