I mean yeah. At this point I have no other choice huh? I mean Jesus...
No doubt. I've been exploring Linux distros all day today.
Mint is solid, especially for newbies. I run Bazzite on my Legion Go and it generally outperforms Windows.
Thanks. I'm a semi-newbie, thinking about going with Debian, but just about to test it on a VM right now.
Linux Mint is based on Debian and is a bit more user friendly.
Thanks, I'm still considering my options. Mint is in the list of possibilities.
I was a Debian guy for years now. Running on all my servers and virtual machines, but never got to be satisfied with it enough to “format Windows” out of my main computer. Until one day I discovered Aurora and relatives. That’s it, that’s the endgame for me. Literally everything works out of the box including support for legacy Nvidia cards, g-sync, scaling etc. and I can fully understand and like their design decisions (hell, with brew it will be just like having a Mac). I’m done with Windows before this year ends.
Microsoft: fuck you if you can't afford internet
Also fuck you if your wifi drivers aren't built in to windows.
but above all, fuck you if you care at all about your privacy, and if you think it is more important than our profits
Oof.
We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
Absolute bullshit
I'm never deleting the Windows 11 installer ISO I downloaded months ago.
I'm never, ever downloading a windows 11 ISO
Well, so am I. :D
GREAT now setting up computers for work is just going to be THAT much more of hassle. Thanks MS.
I use Linux on my work computer lol.
!linux@programming.dev has gained a few new subs!
So even TFA says it’s not completely going away. It’s just switching from a command to a registry entry. Additionally Windows 11 Enterprise most likely won’t be affected or LTSC.
