OC for you.
Would have been so easy to make this point without irrelevant racist imagery.
That is exactly why you buy cheap keys for your windows install and remove everything you don’t need. Edge got nuked from orbit by me and most annoying ads disappeared with it. I killed all notifications and I am now much happier.
Without Edge, many things don’t work on windows. Also, those cheap license sites have a tendency to sell illegally obtained keys. Once Windows does a key audit, the affected PC can have its key disabled. Although, you strike me as the type of individual that can bypass the key audits. Disabling notifications is one of the first things I do on windows.
Yeah, i disabled basically all telemetry on windows. I also will never upgrade to 11. It sucks donkey balls. Also I haven’t noticed any change in edge being gone. Maybe I just got lucky.
Forgot to say, I got my keys from a system builder who had a shit ton of them but had to get them off the shelves because windows 11 was around the corner. So they are all legally obtained.
What method did you use to shut off telemetry? When I did do on my home computer, the calculator app stopped working. Along with a few more apps I don’t use (phone, i think, people, the Xbox ones, etc)
I have several windows 10 pro keys from laptops I put Linux on. Maybe some day, I’ll use the keys. Unlikely, though.
I use arch btw.
I daily Fedora at home (and Windows at work). Got tired Arch breaking every so often, and wanted something that didn’t come with anxiety with every update haha
Yeah that is completely fine. I would not dare to go Arch on work computer. :D OpenSuse works like a charm, but in general pre/post update snaphosts always save the day.
Yeah, I thought those preupdate snapshotters were crazy paranoid freaks… until my first Arch update hahahaha
I’ve wanted to try OpenSuse for a while now. I have a spare laptop that I was planning on installing Gentoo on, but am dreading the antiquated (by today’s standards) installation process. Maybe I’ll use it for OpenSuse.
Honestly it’s so annoying that instead I decided to get a FOSS video editor instead
OpenShot Video Editor. It’s not that great, but I’m doing simple video editing tasks like clipping. At least it’s far better than Windows’ own video editor
Ah I’ve heard of that one before, it’s UI is a bit older looking but it works!
It’s so ironic that a paid product that you’ll never own and is so anti consumer is used by most over the alternative that you could own for free and cares about users! Keep complaining🍿
