    Oppression breeds rebellion, why relying on a software you have zero control over, that the company that owns it respects you so litle that they pre install adware and spyware, learn to use Linux or BSD, you don’t have to use it all the time, but learn the basics, understand how this machine you use so much works, seize that litle piece of freedom back, and even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.

      For sure, and Linux/BSD isn’t that scary. For anyone here who doesn’t think they are smart enough, I’ll give you a hint; even the Linux guru’s ‘Google’ everything. They’re looking up very different things but they’re still searching like the rest of us. If you stick with popular distros there’s always a guide, or a forum post, or a YouTube video that’ll show you how to do almost anything. You don’t even need to install it, you can run most distros, and all the popular ones, off a USB stick. You don’t even need to change anything on your computer to try it. I personally still use Windows for almost everything, but calzone_gigante is right,

      even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.

      In theory, yes. But not in practice. This is a work computer, and I can’t just turn this stuff off without tripping the xdr. For home computers, I would imagine you are 100% correct, but I’ve been using Linux for years. I’m assuming shush windows (or similar) still works on Win10/11.
