everythings fucked. programs wont even uninstall correctly

that fucking sucks, windows 11 is malware, internal search doesn’t even work right and redirects to bing most of the time.

I once got intoxicated and formatted one of my 1TB external drives into a linux boot disk

Word. I fucking hate windows. Last night I was trying to download an program and windows kept automatically deleting it with no notification, even when I added exceptions. I finally had to change the name, download it as “all files” and stick it on another drive to get Windows to leave it alone. I hate this fucking OS but I’m not quite ready to jump to Linux.

Windows is so anti-consumer it is hard to believe that it is still able to survive. But that is the magic of monopoly and inertia. I feel dirty just looking at screenshots of what it looks like these days. On my laptop I have Linux and Windows 10 LTSC.

It’s exclusively because of mass adoption on the enterprise level. At this point, your average Linux distro/DE is less janky and has far more useful features/programs OOTB than fucking Windows.

I have done that, but then an update will happen and it will be back to the way it was. It’s just annoying having to constantly fight the os

Win11 Pro does let you permanently turn it off through the group policy editor (I don’t know if simply downloading the group policy editor exe is enough), but it’s only worth buying if you want to use stuff like HyperV and Bitlocker and Remote Desktop.

i’ll be fine since i don’t use this thing for work anymore, but god damn it is annoying. everything just looks and works worse. i’ll be bashing driver gremlins for the next couple of weeks probably as well, since the update did shit all for the issue i was trying to solve in the first place

edit: the linux boot disk is a good idea. i think i’ll do that

The PC I use at work just got upgraded and I hate it. My only saving grace is that I have been able to install Emacs, FreeCAD, PrusaSlicer, Cygwin, Git, and Python on it without admin privileges.

It is 2023 and these motherfuckers are shipping an operating system which doesn’t even have grep
