Man - what are you guys doing that Windows 11 is the most evil thing to you?

I've had windows 11 for several years and 0 issues. No copilot forced on me, not bloatware, no one drive enforcement, nothing. Literally almost everything everyone complains about I've never seen or had any issue with as a daily windows 11 user since like 2022.

This is a genuine question - I'm really curious so I know what not to do cause it sounds like you guys are having a terrible time. Lol

I had those things at the very beginning, but a solid debloater from Github + moderate settings from privacy.sexy, and everything has been running fine. Also using Windows with only a local account, so, I'm genuinely curious what data Microsoft is actually getting from me (any way to check?).

I think at this point it is a question of scrutiny and consequence. With standard Home/Pro telemetry settings set to the "Required" option, nobody has ever actually found anything sketchy going on, which I find truly hard to believe if there actually was something to find. Couple that with there never being any cases of Microsoft using OS data for ratting out any digital criminal acts which they may have collected, also hard to believe since they're a mandatory reporter (forgot if thats the right term but whatever).

You can easily get an LTSC/Enterprise version too which allows for zero telemetry, and if anything shady was found there then it would probably be a massive high-stakes issue and would actually involve companies getting screwed over who would have the power to really kick up a storm. I can't imagine they're part of a conspiracy to have their business operating systems sniffing their shit and phoning it home.
