Yeah Michaelsoft we get it, you own the OS not us. Now quit doing this shit before you get slapped with more anti-trust lawsuits.
I'll never install a legit copy of Windows anymore. For personal use I am using trusted enough modified versions that limit bloat and connections to Microsoft services. And I probably use those once a month.
Please sir, may I have links?
German, but... https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2023/05/26/windows-11-22631-iso-esd-deutsch-english-inkl-updates-23h2-moment-4/#
Or flash with Rufus, you can disable some stuff there.
Ok
Look, Windows is proprietary, you can't fork it. Modified versions are not legally possible, if MS themselves don't provide it. So much to your "trusted source". Deskmodders is as trustful as you can get in Windows hacks.
An anti-trust lawsuit is like a trophy for these companies.
I started messing with Linux to build a home server a few months ago. I am now fully in the Linux/FOSS cult, and as soon as I figure out how to either run Adobe on Linux or use the alternative software, I am nuking Windows on my personal computers. The bloatware is insufferable, not to mention shit like this.
I'm there with you, I built my NAS about 8 months ago and now I'm slowly migrating everything to Linux. Once I get an AMD GPU for my gaming system I'm going to nuke my dual boot and run solely Linux, with Windows in a virtual machine if I ever need it. I'll just run a dual GPU setup, RTX 3090 for the Windows VM and whatever AMD card I get for the host.
