    not very accurate, you can still install Windows graphically, and you could install Linux either on a console or with a GUI both in 2005 and now

      I’m not installing win 11 anyways, but if I did, there’s no way in hell I wouldn’t install it without spending half a day fucking with regedit and powershell.

        Just FYI, ReviOS is a playbook (set of system changes) that strips all the crap out of Windows 11 while still being almost entirely functional (I believe it disables automatic driver downloads, but it still gets Windows security updates.) I use it in my VM.

        It’s super easy—install Windows 11, run the ReviOS playbook, then a Ninite to install all the essentials (including Classic Shell I think? Although I prefer one called something like Start Back.)
