I’m just glad both hands are on the phone…but yeah, I’d be moving somewhere else or something.
I’m interested in many things and I’m always side tracked by more things.

I ensured bios were setup, attempted to install and it didn’t even show an error when selecting to install or live test and install. The device just restarted and nothing.
I’m actually going to give it another try, I made a fresh USB for it, it’s worth a fair attempt. I know the GPU is gonna probably be unusable, but I was looking at Qubes for 80% of my tasks.
Nice, I’ll check it out! I only plan on still having it installed because some exams I take might not work in a VM. Literally the only reason I plan to dual boot.
I’ve probably had less then a dozen web ads in the last year, I’ve blocked them as much as possible.
My main issue is I paid for Windows and still get ads, its annoying. But I comprehend your perspective. It wouldn’t have bothered me as much if a “Do not remind me again” option was there.
What I’m probably going to do is reinstall windows 11, complete updates, run de-bloater. Then install Ubuntu along side windows (super easy) and disable Ubuntu Telemetry. Use Ubuntu as primary for just about anything, have a win VM if I can use it or worst case Windows still available if I absolutely need it.
I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn’t compatible. Having Win installed, I could use it strictly for gaming too if I wanted.
I’ll give that a try, thank you.
I think I would trust an unknown 3rd parties ISO more then the stock Windows at this point really…
I literally do not have anything extra turned on, including the Insider Program has always been off. Other then automatic updates, so your guess is as good as mine as why “Preview” updates or otherwise would be pushed. It’s not that I’m enrolled in beta or anything.
Completely agree.
I’d bet that most of us are using grey market OEM keys or reusing a license we’ve had upgraded from a previous install.
yet those are the very same people that are likely subscribing to Office365, not changing their default browser from Edge, and not installing an adblocker.
are all good things from a general user perspective.
I wish MS would release a SKU which was targeted towards the tech enthusiast
I understand, the only options I see is added from update or triggered by the update as I’ve never gotten this window before and it restarted to this screen like I had to do it.
I do believe there is a up tick in Linux users these days, probably not enough though. The main downside the the popular use of Windows in business, if they get converted Microsoft would probably really struggle even with their other markets.
I was going to say it but didn’t want to be the only one. I do recommend and use it though.
Is there a way to put alt text in lemmy? I could see the benefit especially for screen readers. I could only see putting it in the content section right?
What Distro? I use Ubuntu and sometimes tails for personal use. This weekend, I think I’m just going to setup a Windows VM instead and maybe try out Quebes if I can get that to work.
I only NEED it for a couple low resource applications, hell maybe it’ll run in wine.
Primarily for drivers and security updates.
You have a point, I could turn off updates and manually update as I need too but my frustration is that there are ads in the first place.
Yeah, I’m going to see about Quebes or just running VM inside Ubuntu at this point.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have a look!
Yeah, I did give them a try at one point primarily for windows login but too many privacy concerns and yes, I agree their products don’t work for me either. Especially OneDrive and Edge has always been a pain coming built in.
And that’s how I got kicked out of the local trader joes…
