Even though Windows is very user-friendly. I think Windows 11 might be my last. The amount of anti-privacy that’s implemented and what I have to do just so it doesn’t constantly phone back home is kind of ridiculous.

Off to pick my flavor of Linux.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (9 children)

I find it strange that people call it user-friendly, despite it doing a lot of things hostile to the user.

I was actually going to put it on an older laptop the other week, but Ubuntu wouldn't run on it.

This was after spending an hour trying to get into the BIOS, only to find that the keyboard doesn't actually work before the Windows splash screen comes up... I mean who the fuck designs it like that?

Also the drive bay doesn't fit the SSD properly, so it just boot loops if you use the little caddy. Refuses to even Post.

Now I hate computers again.

This grinds my gears. Apple does the same: my work MBP nags me daily to enable iCloud backups but I have no way of doing it because Apple login is disabled by my administrator. Consequently, I cannot reach the settings page to tell Mac to fuck off.

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can't ask IT to disable it for you?

[–] poopkins@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I should, you're right.

Only good thing about windows being so bad is that amazing feeling when I finish my homework in Solidworks (🤬) and boot back to my Linux desktop.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Can't you just virtualize it?

[–] mlaga97@lemmy.mlaga97.space 17 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Virtualizing applications that use 3d graphics can be a pain

Is there a newbie way to install it? It looks pretty convoluted...

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's easier than installing Windows. The problem is that someone hasn't already done it for you.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (7 children)

Yes. Did you know that you cannot partition disks in a GUI while installing Windows? You can only select partition to install to or format the entire disk, all advanced actions must be done with diskpart commands in Command Prompt (Shift+F10).

Also OOBE is shit, luckily you can do it offline thanks to C:\Windows\System32\OOBE\bypassnro.bat. And the additional setup like debloating is also time-consuming.

If I had known it was possible to make a local account instead of having to use my outlook for my desktop, I totally would have gone that route a couple years ago. Only plus side I can think of for not doing it is that I have immediate access to my outlook.

[–] 0xC4aE1e5@lemmy.zip 17 points 10 months ago

If I use Windows I use a fully patched IoT LTSC 2019, with O&O ShutUp at somewhat recommended settings.

psst... I hear you're looking to ditch Microsoft. You might like what you see over at c/linux

Is there even a single benefit of this? I don't want anything to do with one drive.

[–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The benefits are:

Data that can be analyzed and form basis of ad profile

Can track you when you are on the move.

Vendor lock-in as you may find that most features are tied to the microsoft account (onedrive, office, outlook)

Why don't you just turn those notifications off?

I have a Win7 on my PC which I only use for gaming but Steam is telling me it'll stop working on Win7 in about 80 days or so. I installed Win7 on it for a reason but soon it'll be my first ever computer running Linux.

There's a tool for making bootable windows USB drives called Rufus that gives you options to remove things like requiring a Windows account, TPM requirement for Windows 11, secure boot, etc when you're cloning the iso to the USB drive.

Windows 10 pushed me into finally jumping into Linux a few years ago. I've been happy ever since it feels good to change what you don't like about a system.

I see loads of things on here about what Windows does that gets on people's nerves. Why don't I see any of it on my install? I get no ads, annoying pop-ups etc. afaik it's just win11 pro.

[–] GARlactic@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's pro, that's why.

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

Hahahaha, if only pro was anything more than home with some added features. If you want the version without ads you need enterprise + a domain or intune.

They probably just turned off suggested links, and tips.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Did you do anything to your system? I have a Win10Pro, but the first step after installation is to disable a ton of stuff, uninstall and delete a ton of applications, etc. making a lot of that alien to me too.

My windows 11 has the same notification but it pops up in the center of the screen on top of everything about every hour.

I've never seen a pop-up like this on Windows and I work in IT for a living. I don't do anything special with my personal OS install so idk what the difference is.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 months ago

It only happens on Windows Home versions, it does not happen on Pro versions which you are probably using.

You can still just turn the notification off in the home version:

This appeared this week on our home Windows 10 machine as well for the one account that does not use a Microsoft account. It's a new behavior.
