  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

    Does anyone know if the EU protects against this? I am in Europe (well Switzerland, so technically not EU, but GDPR etc. nonetheless) and using windows 11 as my daily driver on two machines (one with beta) I have never seen ads.

    EDIT: except for the 'finish setting up' stuff after bigger updates, those I do get.

    EU gets Windows 11 'N'. It's gdpr compliantnane doesn't include the ads. I don't know about the telemetry though.

    Anyone can install Windows N, just select it during the installation

    I'd still recommend debloating it using some script though

    Someone actually downvoted this. That person is a loser and a bootlicker. Sucks to be you!

    Ok this is just absurd if there's really file explorer ads

    If you absolutely MUST use Windows, use it with AtlasOS.

    Otherwise, Debian w/ KDE Plasma is your panacea.

    [โ€“] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Iโ€™ve read about that one

    https://atlasos.net

    Then there was a similar tool and some discussion about one or the other being either buggy or problematic?

    Also - I remember NTlite or similar was out there and lots of talk of Chris Titusโ€™ debloater - havenโ€™t used any at least not in over 5 years

    Does anyone happen to know what Mastodon client this is? I'm assuming this is on iOS

    Y'all I fucking hate windows but running linux went fine until I had to do some video editing for classwork. Premiere pro, which I had a student license for, obviously out. I go looking for FOSS alternatives because hey i'm sure there's a good linux video editor. I think I ended up settling on Kdenlive. I tried installing it from the ubuntu app store and that version was missing features. I tried installing it with apt-get and then proceeded to spend the next 5 hours trying to fix a missing dependancy that seemed to have just vanished off the face of fhe earth. I'm sure there are workarounds but "able to look through the error logs of the apt-get and track down the problem" apparently wasn't tech-savvy enough to have a video editor, one of the most important types of professional software IMO. (also i spent so much money on games cause proton doesn't play nice with piracy very often). I think lonux is perfect for thw really basic user or for the hyper advanced superuser types, but when you're in the middle it can be a real bitch to work with.

    Blender is low key the best video editor on Linux for future reference
