A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Used to do that but inevitably what happens is:

  1. An update comes along and reinstalls it.

  2. Something else is broken by it's removal because it's a dependency of the OS.

Eventually I got tired of subjecting myself to the abuse.

When MS makes a spam-free, ad-free, telemtry-free, account-free, lightweight version of Windows, I'll be first in line to buy a license.

I wish I could move but mac OS multi-monitor support is terrible and Linux desktop gives me endless problems

I hear ya. Personally I'd rather deal with the endless Linux problems than Windows' constant force-feeding bullshit.

The closest thing is LTSC, it still has some telemetry but less than the main version. They haven't released LTSC for Windows 11 yet though.

they will probably call it LTSD

LTSC, but they don't sell that to end customers.
