Windows is honestly an abusive operating system.
It needs to learn it’s place. The operating system exists for the benefit of the human, not the other way around.
The only logical explanation for its popularity is Stockholm Syndrome on a massive scale.
Yes but what the hell is going on in that linux install window
Looks like a Gentoo install. Set the hard disk up ready for use, put some Gentoo files on it, switch to running from the hard disk instead of the install CD or USB stick, download more Gentoo stuff, compile and install a Linux kernel.
Assuming you’re not talking about the one with three languages and a continue button, if you don’t get that one I can’t really help you.
Somehow remove edge
I am in the EU and the removal doesnt do anything. WinUtil and BulkCrapUninstaller both fail too
Since you are likely going to need to create bootable media for any OS install anyway, just use Rufus for Windows 11. Check a few boxes and you don’t have to deal with anything you don’t want. Well, other than Windows that is.
There’s still a lot of setup and “registry” fiddling required after installing Linux as well. Especially if you have weird chips without proper drivers.
Anywho. Two sides of a coin.
And after all that you have to use Windows.
That’s the worst part!
If your are forced to install Windows at gunpoint use either Rufus or an Enterprise license. All other windows licenses are bluntly Adware/Spyware.
You can avoid the online account requirement by using pro… although you still need internet without using some form of bypass
Tell that to the wireless card on the laptop I just bought 😔
You can someone swap those out.
It’s soldered on, or I’d do that myself. Just wading through driver hell right now trying to make it work.
I haven’t installed Windows in a decade with the intent of the device to be online normally. That seems like it should be a crime in and of itself
It’s not that it needs to be online. It’s that it’s chatting with Microsoft about you while it’s doing it. They’re going to know everything you install, every webpage you go to, everything you do.
