- A nice tip: make sure to install the LTSC version of Windows 10, which is the most perfect setup you'll ever have (well, other than installing Linux)
No Cortana, no Copilot, no Windows Apps. Just pure unadulterated Windows, with extended support until 2032 (if you install the IOT version)
- The title should be "setting up Windows used to be fun". Which yes, I agree, but luckily it has never been a better time for Linux usability. Even ~100% of games work.
- Setting up my PC with PopOS recently has been really fun. Everything is snappy and fast, and no bloatware crap.
- The irony of complaining in a Website full with endless amount of ads all over the place.

- It still is fun with Linux. Running NixOS and configuring my entire system with it is possibly the most fun i’ve had in a while with setting up a computer, or just using one at all.
- The new pc is still fun. Maybe just pick a better OS
- I had my new Win11 PC preinstalled by the vendor and then immediately ran Win11Debloat on it. It's been quite painless that way; not many nuisances except a few OneDrive popups to extinguish and the typical forced reboots after updates.

- buy a mini pc ,sans OS,with whatever hardware features and install a linux flavor, or two,or three.
buying from the duopoly is like hitting yourself in the face with a brick, it feels realy good, when you stop.
the market is bieng divied up into two types of software, factory stock, and aftermarket malware.
