Windows 11 isn't actually that bad if you just spend a couple of hours unfucking it and getting rid of all the adds and shit news website and store garbage and put the windows menu in the right place and replace the explorer shell and the file manager and block tracking and malware and purge copilot
IEMs have invalidated budget headphones. IEMs are one of the biggest leaps in technology in the 2020s.You can get sound of a $20 pair that was unthinkable a decade before.
>>108021611>couple of hours unfucking itThat's what makes it bad in the first place, and the fact that after any update, any number of your modifications might be undone.
>>108021611then it updates and puts it all back
>>108021739I love c and hate linux as much as win 11You are gatekeeping a toilet filled with jeets
>>108021611I like Python.
>>108021773Good morning saar
>>108021611I only ever find out some Windows version is considered bad on the Internet.I turn off all the shit and it just werks. doesn't take hours either.
>>108021611Windows 11 is actually quite good if you're running the corporate version which doesn't have all the consumer-tier fuckery.
>>108021720I don't believe you
>>108021611Microsofts programming style is based
>>108021611>>108021967exactly. You need to buy (pirate) Pro version. Set european area in oobe. Then the os is gdpr compliant and you can literally uninstall OneDrive and Copilot. Literally uninstall, no "debloating". Then you fire gpedit and go on scavenger hunt in computer config > admin templates > windows components.It's a powerfull tool, you can disable updates entirely, and even futere proof it with a taskshed job that pauses and pauses, you can grab that script out of unattended.xml generator iso's. You can disable AI in paint, disable spotlight, disable retarded start menu elements, widgets, all kinds of telemetry.You can import and export gpedit settings by powershell gpio so you now have a backup. Windows offers native tools for tracking registry too.tldr hating on windows is a skill issue
>>108021611And you have to use LTSC to avoid the unwanted updates
>>108021611The YT/X/whatever fags are going nuts over Linux but Windows is still the best platform for gamedev whether it's for Windows, Linux, or console.
>>108021611My most controversial opinion is that the age of conse- oh wait, you mean in tech.
>>108021611Windows 11 is the best looking OS on the market today. It’s closest competitor is OS X Leopard.
>>108021611if you are going to spend a couple of hours unfucking it you might as well use linux
Windows 11 just works, 99% of the problems mentioned in /g/ only exist in the amerifat editions. linux is still superior if you're into tinkertrannying
>>108024138so I can spend months learning system administration? think anon, think
I bought my windows laptop. No roadblocks besides the hours long first time set up and updates. Installed chrome, VSCode, games no problem.
>>108021611I'd rather just install ubuntu and not deal with microslops bullshit just out of spite.
>>108025291Anon you don't have to use arch
>>108026704I'd rather just use Microsoft's tools on Ubuntu.
>>108021611>Windows 11 isn't actually that bad if you just spend a couple of hours unfucking itHow is this any different than being a "linux tinkertranny" and spending hours unfucking arch default install or whatever
>>108021773im not redeeming it chill saar
Despite the persistent accusations of Windows being 'jeetware', some of the biggest linux advocates today are actually Jeets, typically from India using shit hardware, who use linux out of both a necessity and a mistaken belief that it confers some sort of tech clout; odd since anyone who has actually tinkerd with linux knows running it isn't impressive. It's certainly true that the problems people have with Windows almost always come down to skill issues. If you're not some poor 3rd worlder, Windows11 Pro is comfy.
>>108021720I have enough problems with wax buildup. I agree about sound quality being good now but I'll never join the wave.
>>108021611"W11 isn't that bad you just have to rice it like you would if you were installing arch"Just install arch dude.t. w11 user.
By the time I've tinkered enough to get it working I've done twice of what I would need to get Arch running for me. So why bother?Besides, Arch doesn't have that gods forsaken telemetry that you can't disable.
This. Debloat it, install autohotkey, enable WSL, kill update, and at the end of the day you have pretty comfy system going on
>>108021749Fucking this so much it hurts.>you can't debloat the vindows saar
>>108021611If I need to spend time getting rid of all the bloatware and tinkering with the systems so that it works just with the necessary components, why wouldn't I do the same but on Linux with less telemetry, no ad sense, no bullshit?
>>108029367Because when you're finished, linux is always going to feel incomplete, and you're stuck with the retards at Gnome and KDE controlling your computer. Crappy software, gaming is hit and miss, drivers usually suck, limited commercial software, etc.
>>108021611Rust is just a fad, and you're going to look back on this time and laugh.
>>108029410>KDE/GnomeI'm using Cinnamon, Alo what the fuck is this argument anyways? You can CHOOSE your DE, try doing any change to your desktop in Windows 10/11. Just changing your filesystem icons can be borderline schizophrenic, not to mention Windows' constant effort to thwart any changes you make to the OS, rolling them back with each new update.Got rid of telemetry? Whoops, new Windows Update rolled int, guess you'll have to debloat the system once again! Wanna postpone the update indefinetly? Well tough luck, updates are mandatory and you have no control over what buggy bloat we will shove down your throat this time.If you want a seamless "complete" experience so badly then just get a mac and stop worrying about anything, at least their OS works
>>108029410Feels complete to me. Also feel like I have more control without having to dick with dumb shit like windows registry.Plus every game I've tried works great. Even ones without native linux support I'm able to just install through steam via proton, and launch through proton and it "just werks".
>>108029451>Get a macNo, I'll build whatever PC I like and it'll "just work" in Windows.>>108029466>dumb shit like windows registry.Skill issue. Wait until you find the 6 million ways of placing config files in linux.
Want 4k, fractional scaling, mixed monitor modes, nvidia? >Oh yes, please check out wayland. Isn't it completely fucking broken...?>Yes, but we're forcing it anyways.So my it'll just work?>Yes, well, no, uh sometimes actually not really because you're using NVIDIA, and we just don't do that in Linux land.I can run excel?>Nooooo, but you can use this absolute pile of shit libre system, but it's open source so you can just code it to be identical to excel if it's missing a feature... AAAAACK
A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on desktop linux can count himself as a failure.~ Margaret Thatcher.
>>108021611Windows is shit because you have to tinker to make it good.However.Linux is not good because you have to tinker to make it good. People seem to have some sort of trouble with this.
>>108029705No, linux is perfect in every way. I distro hop every 3 days just because I love it so much. It's definitely my lifestyle. Talk to me about switching today!
>>108029727Sounds like a (You) problem. This indecisiveness is the reason why she left
>>108021611It takes like 15 minutes to get W11 up and running, make a local acc, go through notifications/privacy tabs in settings, set diagnostic data to 0 in regedit, disable hybernation, disable connected user experiences and telemetry service in services, update the system and store apps and reset the machine, setup amd adrenalin and steam/gog, and download 7zip and jd2 as well as adding ubo lite to edge. make sure all the gaming tweaks are done like game mode, vrr, refresh rate, gamebar, rebar, etc. and gem it up, your pc just werks and is compatible with all software/hardware you'll purchase or pirate. you retards going along with the linuxtards narratives about windows being unbearable shit with tons of ads and spyware thats just impossible to change or somehow magically comes back is cringe and retarded and you should feel bad for being as tech illiterate as the average 14yo ai prompt engineer linux enjoyer brahmin using /g/
>>108029685Thank god that bitch is roasting in hell rn or I would take this seriously
stop using mas
>>108029685There *is* something to be said about men older than 26 who are using desktop linux or single. It's a dangerous thing. Very prone to mall shootings or transitioning...
>>108021611that is some weaponized cope there.
>>108021611>couple of hours unfucking itI thought the whole point of using Windows over Linux was that it "just works".
>>108029727>No, linux is perfect in every way.How does it feel, knowing you alone are pushing the average nationwide IQ down by a single point?
>>108021611agreed except i dont spend any time doing that I let revios unfuck it for me.
>>108021611I agree, but I still like to set up my pc with Linux. Fedora kde probably. My main concern is actually office software. I need to collaborate in ms office, and I might check out how libreoffice handles office stuff nowadays. Or I might switch to gsuite stuff lol. Because, and this is my controversial opinion, I find it pretty comfy to use. It’s super flexible and I block all google ads anyway.
>>108022734Hell even just choosing Non American English during setup means 99% of the pre installed apps aren’t installed by default. Though you need to re enable Microsoft Store if that’s something you use.
>>108021611Microsoft edge is actually pretty good>Been using edge since 2015So is Microsoft defender for normal use as long as you put it in a strict settingI cannot stand earbuds with tips Notch>punchholes
