This is why I make students install a copy of Windows without the use of a mouse.
Mr.Gates is not in Microsoft for years, but yes
Surprised there wasn’t a conspiratorial reference to covid testing in the meme tbh
Switched to Linux… got tired of them changing the settings for me with updates.
Bill Gates no longer works for Microsoft. He couldn’t care less about you’re data.
Let us hope he is not just data but an actual person.
No, you’re data!
That’s the part of joke
I just bought a used laptop that came with windows 11. After all of this data collection crap it started blue screening after I installed the first set of updates.
Pop Os has been running flawlessly.
Welcome to “windows as a service”. At this point Windows is basically like a freemium app.
Yes, except the free part
Wait, you’re paying for Windows?
Part of the price when you buy a computer.
The illusion of choice
Slipstreamed windows is the only way. Skip all this bullshit and pre-remove all the bloatware fuckery too. Highly recommend if you are installing windows regularly: https://techcult.com/how-to-slipstream-windows-10-installation/
OOSU10 is also helpful if you don’t wanna mess with install media.
Every year that passes makes me happier I switched to Linux only instead of dual booting. Happy Debian user here.
Our internal documentation for setting up a windows VM literally says “Press ‘maybe later’ for the next 9 screens”
Where linux tho
On the USB stick

What’s the best way to get it?

Like what communities? Never saw a megathread here.
Spoiler alert, when you hit accept all tabs go back to “on”.
You guys should try making your install media using Rufus
rufus, woeusb, ventoy all work most of the time
i really like ventoy, but when i tried to install fedora a few months ago it wouldn’t work for some reason. I switched back to just flashing one iso at a time now through the recommended way since i usually don’t need more than one iso anyway.
On linux dd is always an option
I recently created win11 install media with rufus and I was amazed with what it can do. Makes the whole install a breeze since you don’t need to turn off the telemetry and log in to M$ account. All around plesant experience
I’m using NTLite for the last two years to make “custom Windows” that gets rid of much of these data-grabbing s**t. I recommend people here to try it.
You have tons of features like disabling default shit like teams, photos, the much-hated media player, default apps etc. And enable local account creation without resorting to Shift+F10 to CMD and typing the bypass command there.
It also cuts off the other versions of Windows 11 that you don’t want in the boot media. I recommend this software over others because you only need to customize it once before you install the OS. Here
Yeah nah… I think I’d rather take a FOSS mod tool. Or, you know, stay in Linux at much as i can, as of now.
