Im semi there. Only an old win 8 machine , TOR browser 100% of the time and use nothing that needs any sort of user or password login.
Sure, there is stuff I will have to do without but life goes on and the planet keeps turning oddly enough

Wow, Windows is just going fully off the deep end.
They are introducing new features in Windows 11 that include lovely tracking software to let them see a desktop screenshot of whatever you are doing every 3 seconds. They are calling it co-pilot. They say that it will allow you to go back and see how you did things or what went wrong so that you can more easily fix things but in truth they just want to know everything you are doing down to every tiny detail.

>>3740464https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-windows-11-without-microsoft-account1. install Microsoft Windows 11 Pro as a local account (link above)
2. Never sign to an Microsoft account.
3. inside Windows 11 Pro, click APPS/installed apps & click Microsoft Copilot.
4. Click where it says " background permissions" "let this app run in the background" & click never.
I mostly use my PC for gaming, so I'm kinda stuck with using Microsoft, I hope this somewhat helps.
061e5f2a No.3740487
>>3740468Yeah, that's not going to be an option for long. Microsoft has already closed down every loophole that lets you not log in to Microsoft account except one and I'm sure they are working on that one too. They are going full fascist because of the new Qualcomm chipsets coming out. The Snapdragon chipsets designed to work with arm architecture.
They want people to abandon their old technology and buy a new pc. Having to develop and support old technology cost them too much money. They want to force adoption of the new technology as fast as possible, even if that means using BitLocker or some other means to brick your computer.

New zero click exploit found on windows rated a 9.8 threat level out of ten. A buffer underflow exploit using malformed IPV6 packets. It is called a zero click vulnerability because you don't need to do anything for it to get nuked by code you are unaware is even running.
Patch your windows, you microsimps! Once someone creates a worm for this it's going to spread like wild fire.

>>3755832Don't encourage people to use Arch. Using Arch is like building a motorcycle from nothing. Sure your motorcycle will be "unique" but it will also probably be buggy and you'll have a harder time fixing problems on it.
Why build your motorcycle from parts when you can just use a working motorcycle and spend all that time enjoying the road?
Arch is for people who want to turn their computer into a game of dress up like a little girls do for their Barbies.
It's a great distro if you care less about using your computer and more about fixing your computer. But for the average user, Mint OS or Pop! OS are a much better choice.
a8bfc632 No.3755863
>>3755862Hence, why I said I would be more of a faggot. The install process is more fun to me than actually building a system. Something about it that is satisfying to me.
Arch is for /g/ ricers so I am told.
I used to use Ubuntu with MATE desktop environment and it was nice. I even made a bunch of keybindings tailored to my tastes. Whenever I finally dual boot it will be Mint.

24ab085e No.3755948
>>3755944It was in the past but there are a lot of fire and forget systems now that work pretty much like windows without the bloat and spyware. Linux Mint, POP! OS, and according to tms, Manjaro works pretty out of the box.
Linux used to be pretty hard to get into but now days it's actually pretty easy and it lets you get a lot more use out of older hardware because it's more efficient.

>>3755995I have watched almost every single movie and show ever made, that had a dog as a major or minor character.
I've had lots of computers, too.
However, that name reminded me of Apple products too much. Not a fan of theirs, especially now that they've forever tainted Thunderbolt for me.

>>3756000Yes, I now remember reading about that. That's happened to a lot of animals from (Disney) movies, such as Clown Fish that ended up getting flushed down drains and toilets apparently.
The masses are so easily swayed/influenced, it's quite unsettling.
At least
we can do better than the masses though. All my pets that I had full control over, lived out their natural lives in my home; which is something that gives me comfort. Not everyone can do that of course, but I managed it and am glad.
PS: I have also read countless books and magazines about real life and fictional dogs as the
major characters/subject. I still have so many books, they span various storage places because my doggie-home's too small to house them all. Helps to learn about oneself by reading about others, I guess. :3
Anyhoo, gotta go doggie bed nao. I hope you liked the videos I linked to. :P

>>3758713>Its entirely up to the user whether or not they enable anonymous telemetry.It's not opt-in. It's opt-out.
Installing Fedora sends them info about you and your computer as you install it. THEN you have the option to stop it from collecting more data after it has sent them your system info, hardware config, and put cookies on your system.
It's spyware and it's not even the most user friendly version of Linux or the most cutting edge, or the best for gaming or the best for productivity. There are so, so, many better distros for whatever you want to do with your computer that don't come with spyware, using Fedora is just idiotic.

https://ostechnix.com/manjaro-data-donor/>Currently, MDD installation and data submission are manual. However, plans are in place to include MDD on all Manjaro systems and implement a systemd service for automatic data submission. This automatic data collection will be opt-out, meaning users will have to manually disable the service if they do not wish to participate.Apparently, Manjaro will start including opt-out telemetry. As of this post, it's not installed. Been planning to install Arch on my other ThinkPad. If that works out to my satisfaction, I'll go ahead and install Arch on this one too to use as my daily driver.
The headless Raspberry Pi I'm using as a DNS ad blocker is running Debian. So that's another solid distro option.
