It is possible with W11 to install without copilot and other garbage using the right unattended setup XML and installer that facilitates it

I had to learn about it so my kid could play the games he wants to play that don't work on Linux.

You have a deep and abiding hatred of functional operating systems?

I actually did switch my gaming PC to Linux because I decided it was going to be less effort than trying to force Windows to obey.

It was the way Microsoft was progressively disabling workarounds that was the final straw. As soon as a way to disable telemetry or something became widespread, it wouldn't work any more with the next update and you needed to find new methods.

Linux just does as it's fucking told.

I did a Tiny11 install with Rufus, felt accomplished and then asked me the exact same thing. Have been running Linux for 6 months now and didn‘t boot up my W11 partition since last year.

Does that prevent Windows just ninja installing it in a random update?
