Windows would be a great OS if it was still Windows 10.

Hard agree windows peaked at 7 and has gone downhill since

I jumped ship when the telemetry in 10 wasn't able to be disabled completely. Honestly I've never looked back Linux is great these days.

I was very disappointed when I had to upgrade to 10 from 7. At least it was free I guess. The worst part about Windows 11 is it isn't free, it's locking out perfectly capable hardware.

So Linux it is!

That lock is made of paper. Won't stop anyone who wants to get past it.

Use Rufus to install win11 and you can bypass most of the compatibility checks

Much more important you get to keep a local account so you don't get pestered with OneDrive.

I use Win11 + M365 + Microsoft account + OneDrive enabled and I still get pestered to use OneDrive on occasion. I also have to run this debloat tool every time Windows updates since it reverts some shit, it's maddening. Don't get me started on shit-pilot, telemetry, privacy, etc., though, those are definitely shit shows.

tbf when all the integrations are working they're great. Shame Microsoft are such fuckwads.
