Is there a way to unfollow subs on lemmy yet?
Yeah, super easy. Got to the sub, unfollow. There’s a block button too if you’re feeling spicy.
Awesome! Thanks, I love linux, but this sub is nothing but windows stuff.
I’ve done both accidentally, I choose Tabasco.
When I was about a year old I found a bottle of Tabasco and got the lid off. Wondering what was inside I peered into the bottle and shook it.
Or so I’m told. I have no memory of it but my parents had it burned into theirs.
I didn’t like it apparently.
I hated Windows 11 because:
- Constant Telemetry
- Hogs resources. Examples include: Using 1/3 of my 1TB SSD and 1/2 of 16GB of DDR5 RAM
- Tons of vulnerabilities, several that remain unaddressed
- Forced updates
- The UI and start menu is hideous, search immediately searches Bing instead of my system for an app
I love Fedora 39 because:
- No telemetry, optional anonymous bug reporting
- Uses only 50GB of my 1TB SSD and 1.6GB of 16GB of DDR5 RAM on the OS plus GNOME
- Vulnerabilities continue to be patched through kernel updates (currently up to 6.7.7 on Fedora)
- I get to choose when to update my system
- I like my riced UI, the application menu is clean and search searches for apps on my system first with perfect accuracy
Did I prove my point?
No, The God would be sad of you did not mention the TempleOS, that’s better than your bloat sistem. ;)
The only thing you can’t disable here are the vulns, technically MS is obligated to patch though so I’d be interested which ones apply, I’m assuming there’s a lot of vulns in certain features. My Windows SSD is 60GB fully loaded with apps and drivers. Search and other stuff are just basic config items and plenty of UI replacements and tweaks to be had.
My Debian servers and laptop run way lighter as expected, unfortunately I need the custom hardware support of Windows for some software critical to my livelihood. All I do is deploy Windows in the same way I’d deploy and manage an enterprise workstation. No store, no live, no “apps,” no overlay bs or news feeds, just pure Windows. Gotta say I prefer 11 so far to 10, the window snapping and some other changes have been good for productivity, which is really the only thing I care about since I’d switch that machine to Debian in a heartbeat if I didn’t have a use case.
Idk why but when I left Windows 300GB was the OS itself and I was using it since I got my ASUS laptop in June 2023 to December 2023 right before the new year then I switched to Fedora 39 first then OpenSUSE Tumbleweed then back to Fedora 39 thanks to the asus-linux project. My HP Omen fans were going insane on Windows too no matter what I did or how well I cleaned them then I turned it into a media and storage Linux server with Docker and it’s been quiet ever since
Pretty much the only thing Windows has going for it is hardware support, and that’s purely down to manufacturers not supporting Linux so I can’t even give MS kudos for that.
If my simracing hardware ever gets decent support I’m switching all my machines over.
I generally agree with your sentiment but I’m calling bullshit on a 300gb install. I work in a computer repair shop and load win11 more than 10x a week. Stock install with 23h2 and all updates, even with a GPU (big driver) is always under 50gb. A loaded down version of Pro with hyper V and a bunch of other shit including office is never even 60gb.
And unused RAM is wasted RAM. I have seen win11 run on 2gb ddr3. As you ask for more RAM, it will unload and make space for the new request.
And yes, I daily Linux and generally prefer it.
win 10 ltsc fresh install is about 16gb before updates, about 20/30 after updates
And unused RAM is wasted RAM. I have seen win11 run on 2gb ddr3. As you ask for more RAM, it will unload and make space for the new request.
Personally I rather have the RAM left over for the applications to use up front, instead of the OS taking it all and then begrudgingly letting some of it go when asked.
Reformatting my Windows 11 machines and replacing the OS with Windows 7 is on my (very long) to-do list
Why?
i went back to my glory days of windows ME
Please don’t do that
I had a hard time even installing Win10 in a Win11 machine (doesn’t see the drive, couldn’t find drivers for it).
You need to find appropriate storage driver that you then load during install (extracted in *.inf format not *.exe)
Possible alternative is to disable some proprietary storage related feature in BIOS / UEFI so that you would use standard drivers that are included in install. UEFI update might help as well. Usually there is a guide for all this.
Cursed
Reformatting with ext4
Had us on the first half, not gonna lie
Have fun with the same pain, this time because Microsoft doesn’t want you to use Windows 7… Because… profit.
Probably a security issue or two… (…and they wanted to bake in data harvesting deeper into into the OS)
Aside from weird design choices and obvious privacy issues I like Windows 11 much more than Windows 10. It is especially more usable on my 2in1 laptop, even though it doesn’t officially “support” it, which is just nonsense.
Umm…this is Lemmy, windows are bad. Sunlight is bad. Avoid windows at all costs.
I’ll use Windows 11
Masochist, also, Username seriously not relevant.
There is no way I’d willingly put hot sauce in my eyes. Maybe I should change my username to “nohotsauceineyes”
Sense I’m allergic to capsaicin, windows 11 please. Although it’s fucking horrible. I prefer not to spend the rest of my life in extreme pain and blind. :/
Allergic to capsaicin? Dude, I’m so sorry that must really suck
That’s a thing? My god, TIL. That’s horrible. :( Just put half a Trinidad Scorpion Chili in my dinner yesterday. Suffering a little today but wouldn’t have it any other way - they taste amazing.
Was your asshole crying on the toilet? I know some people who love spicy, but their bowel movements are… unpleasant (or so they say).
Hand me the Cholula
windows 11 is really good, you just need to know how to use it.
O&O shutup 10, simplewall, adguard.
does anyone know how to downgrade to windows 10 again? please help!
W10 will be EOL on 2025 Oct 14. They are practically the same, what exactly makes you want to go back to W10?
I’m experiencing a lot of bugs with the new windows explorer. But also with windows in general. Windows 10 however worked just fine.
(AM radio voice) So you made a deal with the devil and are now stuck playing destiny or a corporate app still dependent on IE6 ActiveX?!
Windows 10 was ok so I didn’t expect windows 11 to be this bad😭
Yeah, here’s a guide: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
Edit: Felt bad, here is an actual guide
This image physically hurts…
I had to fix an issue on my wife’s laptop. If you haven’t used it in a while, do yourself a favor and try it. It’s far worse than you think.
This meme is so cringe, fine you hate windows whatever but saying you would do this instead of using it makes me wanna convince you to put hot sauce in your eyes.
OS are tools, you use what fits your workflow better.
