You Linux supremecists are so edgy...
I use Linux sometimes, too... But like... This shit is getting so old.
We get it, you like Linux. Now let people talk about other platforms without constantly talking about your platform.
your platform.
You do realize you're posting this on a opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are enthusiastic about this stuff?
If you don't like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary platform instead, maybe one with a red alien logo...
Honestly, your bitching was far more intrusive than this unharmful joke. That joke was actually funny.
I don't get why you're offended by someone jokingly pushing Linux?
To be fair, there are so many opportunities to make these jokes because of how Microsoft behaves that maybe that's the real issue here?
I mean... Linux does solve the problem described. Why pay for a platform with the problem when the solution is free?
You food supremecists are so edgy...
I eat food sometimes, too... But like... This is getting so old.
We get it, you like food. Now let people talk about eating human shit without constantly talking about what you put in your mouth.
We just want to eat human shit in peace. Stop telling us there’s a better way, we get it, you don’t like human shit and you think we should be eating food instead. Stop preaching about it.
Was half-expecting Rick Astley ngl
Beat me to it!
This needs to happen with Appl too. AppleTV/Safari/Messages/etc app for MacOS + SIP my ass. Its not integral and if you've made it so you need to unmake it so, along with other bundled crap. SIP should literally refer to that and only that in aggregate which is necessary to ensure the system is able to function, not per se function in an un-overruleable way for the maker.
Yes. They should allow removing apps like Safari and, as you said, Apple TV, iMessage, and other non-basic (on a computer) utilities, then downloading them again from the App Store.
On an unrelated note, I also turn off SIP to change the icons of system apps.
Wait Windows users are allowed to manage their software ?!? Get out of town.
As a certified windows user, can confirm, I do not have free will to install anything
yes, and it's easier than linux
checks notes Registry editing?
Way too late...I switched away from Windows 100% already. Linux works perfectly fine.
Tell that to someone that uses fusion 360 to earn their living.
If you are just going to Facebook and downloading movies and stuff sure...
Linux is great for my home server, terrible for my main machine.
Your problem is using your personal machine for work.
It runs just fine https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux
Why is this a topic at all? Don't you own your machine?
C'mon bro, its nowhere near that facile although I'll concede that once people are more aware of the options, it might help get things going in the right direction. Bes positive and joyfully share you expertise ;)
But can you remove Windows from Windows?
Delete system 32
Nice try, but you need permission from SYSTEM to delete system32.
Throw a brick at Windows to brick it.
You need to triforce it.
Does this also impact Apple, will they also need to allow removing Safari? If yes, is it possible that they might allow removing other things like iMessage and Apple TV?
On macOS it's always been possible to remove built in apps. To do so now though requires disabling SIP and mounting as R/W. Then you can use something like this to remove all traces https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
If even MS themselves calls it "benefits", why not enable it for all by default?
Because fuck you.
I give it less than a year before this goes the way of the Windows 10 start menu registry tweak.
A reminder that you own your machine. If you chose the paid-spyware OS, why complain about it?
Can you just do right click uninstall? or do you have to follow a 12 step hacker method that would cause updates to stop working until you reinstall windows again?
Windows has become the most bloated ad-infested spyware os in existance and more people are leaving it more than ever before. In just few more years, it will be a thing of the past
Reading the article, you do some registry edits to tell Windows that it's in Europe. Then you uninstall as if you were in Europe. No word on what other consequences this might have.
If you have to tell Windows that you are in Europe then the title is nonsense.
"You too can drink alcohol even if you're underage"... All you have to do is Lie, and get a fake ID". > Wow thanks.
This is what I want to know as well. Is it a simple process or more involved?
Debloat windows if you need to use it for work or something
A youtuber that actually devs and provides tools for the public?
What a gigachad.
Still waiting for that LTSC
You can remove Windows completely from your life with very little effort, no matter where you live and it's free! In the world of today there is no need whatsoever for that exploitive and in short bad OS anymore.
I mean some stuff is still running windows 98. What programs are you really needing to run?
Which one? apache2? mysql? php-fpm? python? ftp? smb? nodejs?
Not sure about you, but I'm using those to make my living.
This comment is so out of touch.
I work in CAD and 3D printing and I'd be completely dead in the water if I used Linux.
No fusion 360, no cura
I bet there are plenty of other apps that I rely on that are not available on Linux.
I'm not some sort of Windows fanboy either. I'm disgusted with their action in the recent years.
I run Linux on my home server, but not my main computing machine
Let's be realistic here, your experience is not universal
To be fair, PrusaSlicer and its derivatives do have native Linux support. And you can use Onshape from the browser on Linux just fine and it is honestly really good. I do a lot of this stuff too
Agreed, I hate how people blindly use Windows because "that's what my shitty HP laptop shipped with"
...unless you have a machine that doesn't run linux well.
If it's been a while you could try again as the kernel gets updated with support for various hardware.
One of my laptops was awful with Linux but after a good while I tried reinstalling a fresh distro and it ran like a dream.
As in the PC has some hardware which only has proprietary drivers from the manufacturer?
Sort of?
I run Visual Studio Enterprise, no, VS Code is not sufficient for some needs.
I have to edit complex PDFs in Adobe. Free, open source readers are not enough.
Even the best linux RDP or WebRTC or otherwise apps still don't seem to provide quite the same speed as RDP into windows hosts/servers.
I have to use Teams daily across multiple orgs, and the seemingly discontinued Linux support in lieu of the less-featured browser app / PWA just doesn't fly.
I've found building windows apps on Linux, while seemingly supposed to be net similar, often times do not turn out right.
Need full featured O365 to integrate with your work's O365? No go. Closest is installing edge on Linux and using the web version, which is subpar.
I hate windows, I use Linux when I can, but to say you can remove it from your life with very little effort is a blanket statement that is just unrealistic for many. To say there is no need is just off base.
Source: I use Windows, PopOS, KDE, Mint, and that apple OS thing that I hate more than Windows.
I agree it's very easy and takes very little force to remove windows from your life. Adopting another OS in the other hand...
Like that would fix the OS.
