It is so strange to see people flexing $PREVIOUS_WINDOWS when $PREVIOUS_WINDOWS itself brought in egregious anti-features that are now normalized and accepted by average users as "not malware".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but most if not all of those antifeatures can be removed very easily.

I find it much easier to start with a minimal canvas, and then to add only the things I want or need. Than to try to tear down aggressive features until something sane begins to appear from beneath.

I got too many games and programs installed in my current copy of Win10 to ditch it now, sadly. Too afraid of outright losing shit, or savegames, etc.

Besides O&O (or whatever it's called) installs via Chocolatey, and you just uncheck the stuff you don't want. Windows is stripped to bones in like 10 minutes.

You might be surprised at how many games just work on Linux. Have been running it on my laptop for a bit now and it hasn't presented an issue. Check out https://www.protondb.com/.

Had a friend recently ask me to benchmark my PC as he was buying one and wanted a baseline number to compare against. Asked him what he wanted me to benchmark, (it was Mass Effect). The process was: install on steam, hit play on steam. The only annoying part was I had to wait for the new game cinematic to finish before I could get a FPS reading.

O&O Shutup10 is pretty nice though.
