MODERATORS
My work, a hospital, spent an entire week trying to purge the bs from a new windows 11 build. Just for a base for new machine roll outs. Whole time, I was make sarcastic little comments about how they backed the wrong horse and needed to switch to Linux.
It's a shame the hospital didn't go for Win10 LTSC (supported until 2027 or 2032 if using the IoT version). It's meant for exactly these type of enterprise situations. It's literally a debloated Windows and the updates are only security updates. No bloat/cortana/etc, it feels like running Windows 7 again (in a good way).
Disclaimer: I use Linux Mint as my daily driver but Win10 LTSC if I must use Windows.
There was a reason, but I don't know why.
