From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Strange. I install windows 11 at least 3 times a week at work, it takes about 5 mins and is useable out the box.
Perhaps you could try RevoOS
@fox2263 @PeterPoopshit LOL, really 5 minutes??? LOL, perhaps by restoring an image, but installing ? LOL
Installing from an nvme ssd usb drive to an nvme internal ssd, yeah. And then autopilot takes over.
If you call popups, annoying apps "usable" then it is.
I at least spend a day to make it less annoying.
Pop ups? Huh? Sounds like you need an ad blocker for your browser then.
That is not the case. Default builds of Windows 10 & 11 can send annoying notifications like "Scanned your computer blah blah...". And I assume there are lot more. I mean if it isn't popup, then what it is? I mostly disable notifications completely by the way. Probably there are more than that, idk.
Ah windows notifications. Ya most OS have that even Linux. With that said it takes about 2 seconds to completely disable them and you never have to deal with it again.
Calling windows unusable because of a tiny window appearing on the bottom right corner is just being dramatic.
It’s hard for people to accept your point when you’re being over the top dramatic about a feature that is easily disabled.
It's like that guy that was upset his computer wanted a wifi connection and that it was "giving sensitive info to Microsoft!"
Bro just stop using the internet if you're that scared.
Do you really think just because of that? You guys are dramatizing a lot than me. I just say that is annoying, defaults are not fine. Tweaking it consumes my time a lot. Don't miss the whole point. It's just a tiny tiny little bit example of how awful and annoying defaults are.
The only one being dramatic is you.
How it is dramatic? You are the one who took offense... It's not hard to just understand defaults are bad.
There is a difference between disagreeing with what you said and being “offended”. When people call you dramatic this is why.
Can you stick to reality or is your entire personality based on hyperbole?
Just look at how you talk, that explains that you are not worthy to keep talking.
You just turned a simple conversation that needed to be kept simple and friendly into a complete disaster combined with aggressiveness.
You would've convinced me that I am wrong. So toxic.
look into an LTSC build or Tiny10
instead of removing things, you'll be adding them
Tiny10 was infected IIRC, LTSC is not for me since it requires more tinkering than default Windows.
I haven't found any info about Tiny10 being compromised
LTSC will depend on your usage
if you rely on lots of Microsoft services then you'd be better with stock Windows
I agree! Microsoft services fits nice with stock. But still doesn't change stock is bad. But most of my friends and relatives (who use Windows) doesn't use Microsoft products (except core products like calculator) because they do not need it. The stock just comes with so many bloat, bad taskbar, telemetries etc... Some of them don't know how to debloat and tinker with system so they can't mess with it and leave it at stock, some of them knows and does every single step to go far away from stock.
Tiny10 compromise was a hearsay then. Thanks for your info.
I didn't understand what you mean by LTSC will depend on your usage. Can you explain it more?
What pop ups?

wholeheartedly unpleasant but "usable"
Yeah, it is so unpleasant... But I am another type of perfectionist so unless I properly configured and got rid of all the trash, I can't use it.
Didn't thought like "unpleasant" so yeah unpleasant would be more fitting then unusable. Agree with you. 👍
