Considering that centuri-chan is clear hentai bait most of the time and lemmy’s massive hateboner for windows, I give it about 15 more.
Given how often the Linux force is quick to tell someone their particular Linux bugbear is because they haven’t configured things right, I am constantly stunned at how fucking much the wider internet accepts learned helplessness with Windows.
There are countless trustworthy third party tools available for preventing Windows 10 from upgrading to 11, if you don’t want to go into group policy and set the target feature update version yourself.
That’s fine, but I would personally reccomend that anyone considering moving to Linux also consider reading up on some basic Windows system administration stuff as well.
Group Policy is a way to consistently configure settings on Windows for the OS and a decent number of programs. It often has a ton of options for things that aren’t in the normal user facing settings menu or control panel. It was made so that sysadmins could set the settings how they wanted and then just push the same settings to every machine at their workplace. Where it becomes useful for the personal user is that if you’re using any Windows install above Pro, you can adjust Group Policy for your own machine. Most of the “secret registry settings” you’ll find online that actually work are just what Group Policy sets without a straightforward menu.
Target feature update version is needlessly confusing, but it can be broken down like this: Target “feature update” version. The feature update is the specific version of Windows that will be targeted when it looks for updates.
Linux is ultimately the better option, but it can still sometimes involve a level of tinkering effort that could just as easily be done to get your Windows working better for you.
How many times can we post this in a one week span?

Most Windows users have no idea what any of that is. Including me, to be honest.
