Pirate a copy of windows 11 N. It’s the eu version that doesn’t have any of this dogshit in it.

I only use the computer for word processing, internet, and playing roguelikes.

Fine. I guess I'll learn Linux 😒

As someone who understands windows fairly well, but until recently couldn't use the command line to save my life, I started dual booting Ubuntu and it's pretty easy to figure out once you understand what you're looking for. Only things I'm still trying to get running are alternatives for the stream deck software, iCUE, and voicemeeter, but I havem't really invested much time into them yet.

Sometimes people get caught up trying to find exact matches for software, when instead it's a combination of tools that gets the job done on another OS. The annoying thing is learning new toolsets -- but it's only annoying until you know them.

Thanks for this unqualified headline.

I’m a government contractor, so I’m stuck on Windows and Microsoft products for work. It really sucks, but the government ain’t switching to Linux anytime soon… if ever. At least Windows 11 Enterprise (or Government, whatever) should have a lot of this shit stripped out. I hope.

Usually at that scale you create images with all this crap removed. When deployment time comes, the machines are reimaged from local/state IT.

I feel bad for the average home user that, at this point views more ads than content, and all this telemetry collection to boot.

When did PC Gamer start hijacking the back button to show more ads? Infuriating.

I just open things in new tabs with the mouse wheel click, then press ctrl-w to close the tab.
