I need Win11 for work. Specifically, Grasshopper. I've tried alternatives. They suck.

Thus, debloat methods are very welcome.

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil This just works. It will disable a lot of windows garbage including co pilot and recall. You can also remove all Microsoft installed bloatware programs but I don't recommend it on 11.

It's a shame that generic desktop apps don't have the same level of support that games do. That would be an enormous boost to Linux adoption.

I hope you got a work pc seperates from your private one?

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I dual-boot Kubuntu (--minimal-install; no snap fuckery) and Win11. I'm a contractor so the Win11 Pro side is technically my "business" installation. I've debloated quite a lot in Windows land, but still haven't figured out how to get rid of CoPilot etc. I self-host a GPU cluster via a server running CasaOS/Ubuntu-Server LTS.

But my employers data has zero value to me

Last I checked Rhino was gold in the winddb. Did something change?

If you're really committed, Wine or Quickemu are pretty damn good now. Grasshopper may almost fully work. Worth a shot. If you're generous and it works well enough, you can create bugs for any gaps in behavior and help everyone else. But not everyone has time for it.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Grasshopper3D runs within Rhinoceros3D. Can "Rhino8 run with Wine/Quickemu?" is what I should research, though in McNeel's documentation, it's explicitly stated to not use Wine (I think). I suppose I could run on an older x86_64 Intel Macbook, but then I lose NVIDIA acceleration.

But I set up work machines when I need windows. Using corporate licensing help set some pretty good group policies. Then I just remote into them when I need to use something or work on something windows related. You can keep an instance in the cloud or a physical box, whatever works for you.

Remoting in with a linux machine on a semi decent connection is about the same as being there.

Please sit down for what I'm about to tell you. When a Linux user communicates with someone using Windows, the Linux user's sent data is still being harvested. 💢

Uh huh, so what you're saying is that the other user also must be assimilated, then.

Resistance is futile
