    One day, Linux will be ready for a no-headaches gaming PC. Genuinely looking forward to it.

    Can someone enlighten me as to what is M$ doing this time?

    I had to install windows the other day on my kids laptop, and had to skip like 10 screens of Microsoft ads and then disable OneDrive, but saw nothing about Dropbox.

    Edit: my household has been using Mint for a few years now, the m$ enshitification was just too much for us. I only had to install windows on my kids school laptop because they won’t accept anything else…

      No idea but here’s some tools you should look into

      BloatyNosy

      privacy.sexy

      Windows Spy Blocker

      and this one isnt a tool but more of a tip. When installing Win11, set the region to English (world). This will prevent bloat from being installed by default, then use the OOBE\bypassnro command at the M$ account screen to skip signing up for a M$ account.

        OOBE\bypassnro no longer works on shipped computers. You have to have a old installer of 11 to use it. There are other ways. Mines a bit more hands on but I end up with a machine with a single local account. Those that tell you install linux and its fixed don’t really live in the real world. As much as I would like to never have to touch windows its not going anywhere soon.
