There's no use case for W11 besides being retarded enough to fall for the estrogen-cores meme.
IoT LTSC is literally the way Windows was for decades and anyone with a brain liked it that way. It was called a clean install for a reason.
Just because you're a retarded zoomer that was born in an era where Candy Crush was preinstalled by default doesn't make it good.

>>102245664
The most expensive edition of Windows that's purchaseable for normal people legally (retail), obviously I activated it through massgrave for free before reinstalling the OS with a clean iso to make sure there's no traces of piracy. I use that one because it's the most expensive and a flex to have it connected to my ms account compared to poorfags using basic shit like home/pro, or weird pedo creeps using illegal shit like edu/enterprise/iot

>>102245664
Its a windows sku like pro but for workstations
I think it has custom power profiles

>>102245706
The only difference compared to pro is that it has one extra power plan named "Ultimate" but benchmarks show it does nothing different compared to High lmao. But you shouldn't be using anything except for Balanced for modern windows, since the geniuses at microsoft essentially made game mode and all modern optimizations like borderless windowed mode optimizations, vrr recognition, cpu optimizations, and high graphic performance assignments to only the balanced preset and the rest of presets dont get anything as they are trying to phase them out with w11.

W11 24H2 destroys W10 22H2 in gaming benchmarks

windows 11 won, make sure to upgrade to the new LTSC :^)

Got a job laptop with Tiger Lake i7-1165G7 and a 1440p@75Hz display.

Turns out that the HDMI port behaves differently between OS, example:

Windows 11: 1440p@59.95Hz Max
Loonix: 1440p@75Hz

I wonder where the limitation is. I've seen in Microsoft forums that this SEEMS to be a limitation in the hardware but from my testing seems a driver limitation.

Eitherways a win for troonix

Well using something like Choco definitely brings the Linux package manager experience to Windows

>>102251669
Are you developing on Windows? Windows does have WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) if you want an authentic Linux environment, seeing that you're only using cmdline tools. (Use WSL2 instead of 1).

>>102252316
WSL is a pointless crutch. If I need linux virtualization I can just use Hyper-V or Docker (which I don't I have a dedicated ESXi Sever for that).

>>102252353
NTA but now that WSL2 has systemd integration then it is better than a regular VM with Docker.

It's saying my windows is out of date when I try to install apple music or apple tv from the microsoft store. I have w10 ltsc and used the little command to enable it.

Depends on what your priorities are, if your main goal is some vague idea of "privacy" then you'd most likely just need to buck up and go for linux. You can achieve some semblance of privacy by doing steps like getting a LTSC image iso then editing it with microwin or some other program to further strip out the privacy invasive cancer in it, then install it offline, run winutil/oosu offline, go through gpedit and apply all the policies from megathread, download gpu drivers, mullvad browser and install them all offline before connecting to the internet and setup the privacy settings of every app before it has a chance to connect to the internet with bad defaults, get a proper firewall app and block everything by default, etc, etc. But privacy is a schizo rabbit hole that never ends, you can be a midwit and think you are achieving some semblance of privacy by setting diagnostic data to 0 in gpedit and running shutup10 and firefox with ubo, but in reality you didnt achieve jack shit and are barely any more private than a normie running w11 home with google chrome

>>102256760

Privacy is my favorite buzzword. Look at that little computer in front of you (your phone). Is its camera currently pointing at you? Yes? Then there's a good chance your ISP is recording everything you do. Your ISP, Google & Apple already track everywhere you go too.

if you dont care about schizo privacy shit then your best option is to KISS (keep it simple stupid), do what normies would do, get a clean usb stick, go to your motherboards site, get the latest qflash update, update your motherboard, then go to microsoft site, get the latest windows media creation tool and run it to install on your usb and verify everything for you, then do a factory reset of bios settings, enable resize bar and 4g in the bios settings, leave overclocking and changing of ram/cpu/fans alone until you do your initial setup and install all the drivers, then run the windows install, when offered delete everything on your ssd completely to make sure there's no old shit or viruses, then either make a local account or a ms account depending on what you need, later activate your version with MAS, and download Steam/Chrome/Redistributables and GPU drivers. Disable background and startup apps for performance, and enable game mode and borderless windowed mode optimizations, and set monitor shit up like hz/vrr/resolution up.

Of course you can use WSL2 without issues. Now if you want it to be a full-fledged VM where you can run full Linux, good luck, there are hacks for this, but it is bugged and annoying. You can run any Linux apps, for the most part, just not whatever DE and stuff you prefer. You'll need a regular VM for that.
Or just dual boot if your machine isn't ancient e-waste that will shart itself if you try dual-booting.

You don't use something like openshell? I actually like the windows 8 openshell theme over windows11 "immersive" or the windows 10 one. windows 8 openshell theme feels very classical.

I hate icons, shit's way too distracting. I go into settings, themes, and icons then disable recycle bin as well. I keep icons technically enabled on desktop so I can see if something I install creates one and I can delete it, but I always keep my desktop clean. I also unpin everything from the taskbar and unpin everything from the initial start menu (I'm on W11), because I don't want any distractions when I turn on my PC and start the day. If I need a specific app I can either click on apps and browse through them or type it in the start menu search bar. Just werks, peace of mind. I do the same on my android, all widgets and icons deleted, then just sorted in alphabetic order.

>>102269214
Windows has never had good system sounds, the only good system sound is the iconic startup one from XP or 7. If I had to pick the least shittiest one then it'd be the new dark mode specific W11 sounds, but I don't like dark mode so I just disable them all in sound control panel.

>I don't know why people bother with fucking with Edge when it's basically a core Windows component at this point
I have been removing Edge since W10 came out in 2015, never had a single problem.

>>102270553
why are you looking at the icon instead of the window

is there any gui for winget?

>>102271086
Aside from just aesthetics, the issue is mostly if I have multiple programs open I do not want to accidentally open file explorer or edge or steam or something else pinned that I have no use case for at that moment, and have to click around them. It's much cleaner and sensible if the only tasks on the taskbar are the ones I am currently using.

Doing a fresh windows install. Should I just reuse the product key I used on this same PC from 10 years ago

Or just do that activation script guide in the op (which I have done in the past with another computer)

Using Windows for free has literally never been easier, especially when MS themselves just offer 10/11 ISOs on their website.
We're long past the need of using keygens to activate Windows installs or downloading "activated" ISOs through torrent sites.

>>102272717
that site comes from the my digital life forums
so its trustworthy

>>102272753
seems ms just realized it's actually profitable to let people run win for free

>>102272792
Well they make most of their money from other avenues instead of pure consumer license sales. Office 365 subscriptions, the license fees they get payed by every single OEM and business environment, Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. Singular license fees are small time to it these days, plus they have trillions of dollars so no one should feel bad about using it while activated with MAS.

The current ISO offered by massgrave for IoT LTSC 2024 is an open preview that isn't a part of the insider program branch but of the mainline 11 one. Technically when the October cumulative update gets installed it should just become retail IoT LTSC 2024.

are code packs necessary these days?

Been having this problem with W11 23H2 for a couple months now:
I have this habit of locking my PC every time I leave my room. Doing this puts my monitor on stand-by
Usually, when I get back, I press a random key a couple times and the monitor wakes up and I'm greeted by the windows login prompt
Nowadays, half the times the monitor won't wake up no matter what I do unless I manually turn it off and on again, and sometimes after doing this, I'm not even greeted by the lock screen clock or the password prompt, but just the wallpaper. Sometimes pressing a random key does brings up the login prompt, but often I have to ctrl+alt+del for it to show up
Anyone heard of similar problems like this before?

do you guys actually use stuff like winget/chocolately/scoop or whatever, or have you guys moved on from doing that?

>>102276002
>half the times the monitor won't wake up no matter what I do unless I manually turn it off and on again
This happens to me often

>>102276035
I want to use winget but it's a fucking mess.

>>102276186
nta but how so?

>>102276286
It oftens fails for whatever reason, and every time a new progrm gets updated (or tries to before failing) you get the UAC pop up to put your password. Imagine updating 30 programs.

>>102276367
I see. I use chocolatey but winget seems convenient in that it detects all installed programs for updates whereas chocolatey can only detect programs installed with it. So with winget, I can update software that were installed with winget, chocolatey, or even from downloaded exe files

>>102276002
>>102276171
Used to have this issue myself, figured out a way to solve it. Right click onto your start menu / windows logo button, and then choose "Device Manager", go through each single entry manually (I know it's tedious), and on every one that has a power management tab make sure that "Allow this device to wake up PC from sleep" is checked, and "Allow PC to shut down this device for energy saving" is unchecked. Not sure if this is exactly what it says as I'm translating from my native tongue, but it should be something along those lines. 100% fixed the issue for me and using spacebar or my mouse to turn on the screen works 10/10 times now

>>102276035
Personally if there's a way of getting the direct clean digitally signed .exe or .msi file straight from the official website of whatever program I want to use, then I will always get it that way. It offers most control during install and is the safest. I pretty much only use winget for one thing, and that's for updating specific shit like microsoft edge webview, which doesn't update together with the browser because I have a group policy enabled that disables all background apps and I don't have any startup apps either, so edge can't do it alone. In my experience running winget update -all is very buggy, for some reason winget actually pushes shit faster than microsoft store and sometimes it won't even update it or it will show that there's an update required despite you being on the latest version. For example right now if I go to my ms store and click update all button, it shows as no updates, yet if i run winget update in terminal, it shows me that terminal and dev home have updates. Annoying.

Realistically, how bad is using Windows 10 going to be by the time End of Support comes up?
My pc can't upgrade to 11, (good, fuck 11) and there's so many different little programs that don't work with Linux that I'd have to install some hipster-ass alternative for if I switched over.

>>102277380
I don't think you should be using windows without security patches, that seems like a nightmare no matter what retards on /g/ might say to cope. But you can simply just use rufus to install windows 11 and bypass the cpu restrictions, or you can use LTSC until 2032. I mean if you really can't save up to upgrade your PC in 10 years (a decade), then you have bigger issues than windows in your life.

is Chocolatey worth installing? are the packages safe and well curated before posting?

Everything is fake positive

>>102277484
That's what anti-viruses are for, they are meant to warn you about executables that are not digitally signed and confirmed safe, and they are meant to quarantine shit that's been reported as a virus before or has something really odd about it. Then you use common sense and decide if the source is trustworthy and restore it from quarantine. No single person in the world has enough "common sense" to be alert at all times and never absent mindedly use their PC.

>>102277532
But twas from Github...

>>102277575
Github can have viruses, there's a bunch of counter strike 2 cheats on github that are blatant malware and usually get taken down a few hours, days or sometimes even weeks after uploads.

>>102277484
Define what a virus is. If I create a bat file that deletes system32, should WD detect it as a virus?

>>102277666
It is something related with Neofetch

>>102277751
Read through the source code if it's on github and make sure you are downloading through github, not through some external link on there. It's most likely just a false positive that you can ignore, but if you want -fetch for windows, I used this one for a while before while I still cared about muh ricing and it worked fine.
