I just finished converting the last computer in my house to Linux. I do have a couple laptops that dual boot with Win 10 LTSC, but only use it for some niche things that absolutely require it.

Seriously. Holiday season is normally when family members ask for tech support. I couldn't believe how much work it was to just navigate a Windows 11 machine.
I wonder if it caches the web result because their other shit isn't bloat-y enough.
Lol
I remember the windows XP days when the operating system was just that, and not a system designed to track the user and extract as much value/money out of them as possible. It was simple enough that even my dad could use it, if I have to get my dad to use his laptop now he can barely even comprehend the start menu, and thus he mostly just sticks to his phone, I for one am moving to Linux soon as I backup all my files and never dealing with this shit again
I procrastinated doing this for years, then finally set up a NAS a few months ago and backed everything up so that I could make the switch. It was worth it.

I managed to squeeze another year of updates from Windows 10 we'll see how things go....
Switched to 11 to keep up with our employees updating their laptops. It's been completely pain free. I managed 130 laptops at my last job, no problems. No idea how people are getting crap such as pictured.
What dont people just disable that?
