I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.
If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.
No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps
Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon
@beebles And disconnect ANY network connections-even your phone wifi-when installing. You can then proceed without attaching the install to an outlook.com address.
@bruce_toews@beebles yeah, me too. sometimes I think about taking 3 computers back to windows 10 from 11 just because I find it easier to work with but that is a lot of effort for whatI think is a slightly nicer interface. Also, I really don't know of any advantages that windows 11 has. Would say phone link but it really doesn't work well.
@bmoore123@beebles I'm used to eleven, so that's no big deal for me. The only reason I have Windows 10 again on what will be my Mushroom Escape machine is fewer updates. But if I don't get cracking with that, it won't be long before Windows 10 is no longer supported and running it would be a security risk.
@beebles Reminds me of the Germany trick on Twitter, don't want nazis, switch your location to Germany bc they're legally required to hide the nazis there.
@kkarhan@toby@ubuntu@bunsenlabs my grandpa uses RaspberryPi OS 😁.
I couldn't use a Pi 3B+ as a desktop but if it's enough for the old man, I'm fine with it.
I considered running a minecraft Server inside a docker container with reasonable performance metric.
As it's mostly single threaded Java Code.
What really hinders the Pi4 imao is I/O speed. To run the aforementioned minecraft server I connected save the world data on an connected USB to SATA SSD).
Not gonna argue the lack of @tails or official @torproject#TorBrowser but to make #FullDiskEncryption viable and useable, it just can't be restricted to external media or having to manually fiddle around, cuz that's a pain in the rear.
But that's just me wanting to have a consistent technology stack across work and home and being able to just "install & forget" with automatic updates on for the support lifecycle of the distro.
Doesn't mean other options are invalid tho, and I'd rather be forced to use my #Pi0W on #bash / #CLI for the rest of my life than ever having to see or use #Windows ever again!
@kkarhan@toby@bunsenlabs@ubuntu@Raspberry_Pi@tails@torproject bash is always fine. Despite being an embedded systems developer intern, I never used a Raspberry Pi for an embedded project. I consider an OS in embedded to be a nuisance. I perfer bare-metal.
@kkarhan@toby@bunsenlabs@ubuntu@Raspberry_Pi@tails@torproject didn't knew that the Pi doesn't support Luks but I'm not surprised. Currently I only use luks on desktops not a single server. Next year I'll do a big server upgrade. Moving away from Pi's/NAS & LattePanda consolidate it into one.
@kkarhan@ubuntu@bunsenlabs Fedora and OpenSUSE are genuinely the most user-friendly distros I've ever used, given that my experience with modern Ubuntu consists of it sabotaging itself to death via snapd
@kkarhan@ubuntu@bunsenlabs it does when snaps randomly just... casually stop opening? like what happened to me, after running a 20 minute system update that really shouldn't have a. taken that long and b. been a part of the boot process...?
isn't linux renowned for being able to update while you use it?
