krisevolWhat’s crazy is all this can be disabled in Windows by a power user or enthusiast, but they don’t want to, so they want to move to linex, an operating system designed for power users
But wouldnt you always need to check, that those settings keep the way you want them? I heard that windows sometimes resets some of those settings.
PerogiBoiWhat’s crazy is that everythitn a power user does to disable these things gets UNDONE with the next windows update.
A real power user wouldn’t waste their time with that added maintenance of re-disabling things.
I haven’t had a problem with everything staying off, except one drive turning back on which was annoying but took 5 secs to turn it off again.
BeardedBlazeProving the point, it’s a never ending battle with windblowz
It’s not a problem for me, because I use Linux.
BananaIsABerryYeah that overly reductive version of his response is mega cope.
You clearly haven’t touched Debian or an immutable distro. I’ve been happily using Bazzite for 2 years on my laptop on the same install without any settings resetting themselves. It simply is not a thing outside of windows and some other poorly optimised operating systems. You should try them before posting your opinions as fact.
Back when the most hated thing about Windows was the forced updates, I likewise didn’t have that problem because I would update my system often.
For me, as somebody who never had issues and never lost work from it, the update process of every Linux distro I have ever used is still 10x better than Windows ever was.
And honestly that’s a microcosm of the overall Windows vs Linux comparison for me. Ask yourself who the stakeholders are in the design, and of them whose desires get priority. With Linux you generally have the users and the devs (who are themselves users), sprinkled with some commercial interests that contribute for various reasons. With Windows you have users and devs seemingly at the bottom, followed by numerous different priorities inside Microsoft that range from “make the company better” to “keep this department relevant for one more quarter”, you have they who are on the most high – the shareholders – and I guess now you have a pretty strong presence of the US government.
So the purpose of the update process in Linux, whether command line or a friendly graphical interface, is to update the selected items. That’s it. As always, do it quickly, efficiently, and with as little disruption as possible.
The purpose of the update process in Windows includes updating the selected items, sure. But it obviously also includes turning One Drive back on. And history suggests that Windows Update’s true to-do list has waaaaay more than 2 items on it, lol.
Welcome to the fediverse new user. Since you appear to be lost, you should know that we are overwhelmingly linux users on the fediverse, and that [email protected] is unsurprisingly a linux-centric community.
None of us are inexperienced with Windows or Linux and many of us are Linux users because of Windows.
Mainstream linux distros are currently easier to use than it is to debloat a windows install. Quite a few of my “normie” friends swapped to Linux because it was easier to use than Windows when all you do is play games and browse the web.
