Anti-Windows privacy scene is lying. There isn't a single evidence about Windows actually spying on your personal stuff. It's just the telemetry stuff. Technical info, ad ID stuff, hardware ID stuff etc.
It's mostly FUD from Linux fanatics!
>>1095162234.5gb of ram used at idle on a fresh install with a internet connection, yeah ok Bill.
>there isn't a single evidence[sic] about[sic] Windows actually spying.>it's just the [spying]exquisite
>>109516316It called "Windows Update", CachyOS too heavily uses internet connection at first install.Just use something like simplewall if you care so much and block updates!Also my point stands still! No evidence related to spying on personal stuff!!!!
>>109516223nobody loves winblows. it's just that loonix sucks more.
>>109516356Go spend another month ricing your distro, you Linux fanatics are beyond saving
The only reason I tolerate Windows 11 at my job is because for some reason it cannot update
>>109516402This is Windows 11 pro 2 days after all available updates are installed. Copilot and all other Windows bloatware was uninstalled Bill.
>Habe you seen my dotfiles? Also my Arch install scripts? It's just about 5000 lines long, it took me 2 years to perfect it, hehe
>Forget about Windows, ricing is so cool, wasting time with creating and maintaining weird routines and so on. Also also also you should try Neovim too, or even better, Emacs!!!!!!!!
>>109516439Windows 11 Pro is customer-tier, just switch to Education or Enterprise and set telemetry level to zerohttps://en.it-pirate.eu/windows-10-manage-or-disable-telemetry/
windows is a steaming pile of dog turds and so are apple and google phones
>>109516402You and your family will be raped and fed to the local wildlife.
>>109516223>There isn't a single evidence about Windows actually spying on your personal stuffApart from all the court evidence.
>>109516597Hardware ID tracking isn't a proof of Microsoft spying on your personal files, text and photos...
>>109516223>windows doesn't spy on you>>109516501>okay, it does, but you can just hit the "disable spyware button". microsoft is awful and evil, but they added this neat option to disable all the hecking spyware.>also only install the business version of windows, every other version of windows is badwait, so they have multiple versions to choose from, have to change around the settings and configure every install, and install new software to replace defaults? anons... why would I not use linux...
>>109516640Windows 11 having the standard characteristics of every single modern day corporate software product doesn't justify all the bullshit of desktop Linux world! Desktop Linux is disgusting!
>>109516655>all the bullshit of desktop Linux world! Desktop Linux is disgusting!works on my machine
>>109516655yeah ok buddy. i didn't have to hit the "disable spyware" button on my pc.>standard>modernyou are in LOVE with your prison. i just set up my retard friend with "bazzite" and he literally has touched absolutely nothing. no configuration, no tinkering, nothing. he just asked someone else to install, and it werked. he even brings his laptop to work and uses it there too, how weird is that.
lmao how hindu do you have to be to literally spam this thread daily??

>13th gen i7>32gb of ramwin11 is by far the best windows os of all time*, you just need to set it up and have proper hardware. nothing even comes close. windows 7 was best desktop os at its time and gap between it and the next best thing was bigger than it is between win11 and current macos and some high-end, high-polish linux distributions like fedora, but overall win11 takes the cake.*enterprise iot lts with proper settings
>>109516356I mean how else is he supposed to argue it doesn't spy on you without excluding all of the cases in which it DOES spy? Windows users are windows users because they're too broke for a mac and too stupid to use free OSs, it's really not surprising that this is the level of cope they need.
>>109516802>there is not a single freetard that actually cares about privacy, only their fanboy holywari care more about being in control of my computer than privacy per seon wangblow$ it's impossible to do anything without fighting, only for your config to be overwritten on the next update (which is mandatory btw)

>>109516802I'm not installing your goyware, Bill.
>>109516501>just use this specific build of that particular distro and spend hours hunting down and tinkering with different settings and control panels and then you can have an almost usable operating system!No thanks, I'm sticking with Linux.
>>109516802>Android>systemd>chromeos>total silence for decades from freetard FUD griftersStrawman, blatant gaslighting or newfag. And that's ignoring the apples-to-oranges comparisons. Everyone in the Linux community considers systemd, android and chromeos to be the worst evils of the Linux world. Daily systemd hate threads on /g/ is a long-held tradition. I personally run OpenRC.

>>109517784>>109517790Wait, whaaaaa? Why would Microsoft provide legit guides for turning off the spying?
>>109517874Gubmits and companies with sensitive data gotta use Windows too

The only good Windows installation is one that never connects to the Internet.
>>109519935you posted on it too you fucking idiot
>>109520468I'm not the one sperging about imaginary privacy issues on 4chan, retard. But you knew that already. You just wanted an excuse to bump a garbage thread form page 10.

>>109516223>There isn't a single evidence about Windows actually spying on your personal stuffOkay, I'm not sure if this thread is actually from a Linux user, trying to bait out other Linux users to trash talk Windows or is this an actual retarted Windows user trying to justify staying on Windows, because he got filtered?
>>109516501>I'm trusting *le totally werking* and not placebo(!) "turn off telemetry" - settingslmfao, severe baby duck syndrome. Listen anon, I don't mind windows, I grew up with it. In fact, I quite like it, I just hate the direction MS is going. And they cannot prove it, unless they open the fucking source, trust me, I'm not a fucking freetard, but this isn't the Windows XP / 7 era anymore. It's over. Just search for Microsoft and Apple reverting / resetting privacy settings and "accidental" ignoring user toggles.

>>109516655I installed bazzite and it just works. I changed to the light theme. Added a weather and trash can plasmoid. It just works bro.
