I stayed on WXP until the late W7 versions. Dont click shit and you're not at risk, be more interlagent. And lock your shit down before shit happens.

edit: stay on w10 as long as you can, is what I tried to say

Man, I'm so happy, that after almost 30 years of using Linux as desktop OS, I'm at the point where I don't even require to dual-boot that garbage diarrhea OS for anything (at home at least).

You can use 0patch for a small subscription fee and still perfectly fine stay on Windows 7 or 10 for another couple of years. The only cockblocker is the fact that some software provider may block installation of their software/updates on those Windows versions.

You can debloat Windows with Grok. It'll tell you all the commands and registry edits you need to do. Even on Windows home it'll work.

I recommend dual booting Linux though, its time. The support is better than ever. You can also use Grok to walk you through setup on any distro you'd want to use.

10 bucks says it automatically installs Raid Shadow Legends on first run.

And NordVPN

Ive just heard of these apps from some randomly recommended yuotube vids.

Is it easy to use and not completely mess your machine up?

As a general rule, be wary of software that Youtuber's shill for. Most likely contains crypto -mining software.

Windows 11 is just fucking atrocious in its every aspect. Microsoft is either playing 4D chess or they are incapable.

Because it has a ton of bloat and spyware.
And it's UI is really bad, especially considering it's based of Chromium.

How is the UI bad? It's very much customizable and it looks like any other modern browser.

Less bloaty than Chrome in my experience and I use it alongside Safari and Firfefox on macOS and win11

Windows 11 25H2 Targets Improved Performance and better Driver Management

Microsoft’s Windows 11 25H2 update shifts attention away from visual overhauls to reinforce the operating system’s fundamental performance and reliability. Since its initial launch in October 2021, Windows 11 has garnered both praise for modern design and criticism for feeling less snappy than...

Advancing Performance from 24H2 Foundations

Windows 11 24H2, released in October 2024, marked the first major performance‑centric update for the platform. It slashed installation times by up to 45% during feature update processes, lowered average CPU utilization by around 25% under typical workloads, and cut unscheduled reboots by 40% thanks to improved update orchestration and memory management. Building on these achievements, the 25H2 update introduces several refinements:

• Enhanced Power Management: Revised scheduler heuristics and updated chipset drivers enable more efficient use of multi‑core processors under mixed-load scenarios. On laptops, this translates to modest battery life improvements—on the order of 5% under balanced usage profiles.
• Quick Machine Recovery: A new low‑overhead mechanism preserves a minimal recovery image in system memory. When a severe error—such as a critical kernel fault—occurs, Windows can now roll back to a known good state in a fraction of the time previously required for a full restart cycle.
• Reduced Background Overhead: System services responsible for telemetry and health monitoring have been consolidated, lowering their collective resource footprint by approximately 10%. The result is freed CPU cycles for foreground applications, enhancing perceived responsiveness.

Santa Nutella would rather slam a car door on his dick than let you remove the AI crap.

My guess is the project to remove the bloat in Windows for Xbox PC led to these improvements.

Could be. I mean, just look at how much spyware Windows has.
It's just sending data to so many places anytime we do anything.
This is why it is so important to debloat Windows.

I'm using hardened Brave.

Do you have to gently stroke the mouse everytime you open the browser or what?

Btw, can i already use the tool in the op? Is there a guide on what is 120% safe to erase?

Fuck you, man. I laughed way too hard.

Use the ChrisTitus Debloat tool. It's really good.
On the previous page there is a video where he explains what it can do. And what is safe.
The program has an option to create a restore point, so if anything goes wrong, you can go back.

I just want it to stop popping up on my face because I have a hardware firewall and don't wish to use theirs.

It's good but it doesn't work miracles. Keep that in mind.

When it comes to Windows, running 11 IoT LTSC is the best option and even that option is barely better than mediocre.

I'm using LTSC as well.
But he doesn't feel as comfortable as we are in formatting and reinstalling Windows.
So the Chris Titus tool is the next best thing for him. Or anyone in a similar situation.

All right this is fantastic, but what forced them to scale back on their march for internal forced apps.
