Oh no! The students are learning things! We must put a stop to this immediately!
I mean, they shouldn’t be bricking each other’s computers, then they can’t continue to learn with them
Sure, but there are better ways of solving that problem than destroying perfectly good laptops.
All those supposed “popups” you can disable. “Bloatware” you can uninstall and are added by the laptop manufacturer not Microsoft, and “advertisements” only happen once on a fresh install.
Almost like those supposedly tech savvy people don’t know what a setting is.
It is fine if you prefer Linux over Windows, but don’t go about just straight up lying about it.
Even if you know windows and all those settings, windows pushed updates that add popups and bloatware.
So you don’t have a choice even if you do disable it uninstall things
Bro hasn’t used windows 11 recently i see.
I literally get daily ads from the Microsoft store. I HAVE TOAST MESSAGES DISABLED
Windows 11 is Microsoft bloatware and ads. They are getting more. The EU made Microsoft to add an option to disable ads because there was none.
This is just factually inaccurate corporate shill talk. In windows 10 I had to completely gut the Microsoft store using regedit to actually stop the ads that come directly from Microsoft. And then you can’t use the Xbox app (for access to game pass) which is basically the only reason I would want windows to start with (among other things it completely breaks) … And that’s a pc I built with a “clean” windows install.
When it “upgraded” itself to windows 11 despite opting out several times, and being bombarded with more ads and constant bs pop-ups, the last straw broke the camel’s back for me. Moved all my computers to Linux only and haven’t looked back.
It’s nice the EU is doing what it can to curb Microsoft’s invasive crap, but it also appears it only helps people in the EU and NA customers still get the bloated “OS” displaying more ads than an old geocities warez site.
maybe people shouldn’t have to do all that to use the system they paid for without being bombarded with ads
just a thought 🌈
Candy crash in start menu along with a thousand other ads, inabiltiy to delete internet explorer and cortana until recently, asking to buy microsoft365 after every update, constant telemetey and tracking with no option to opt out completely, and so on.
Bullshit. No school with the ability to install Linux on a computer would lack the ability to redeploy them, sell them on or donate them.
I remember working years ago with a guy who once told the most fucking tedious story about his trip to the post office. When he detected that noone gave even the most faint shit about his milquetoast existence he just blurted out “and then I stopped an armed robbery” and refused to elaborate. That last bit about the creek sound like that.
Although you do have a point, the school could as likely have contracted a third party to do the deployment, and cut ties fast as soon as things went awry. Then the last part seems reasonable, although embellished.
Wtf fuck that school?
Popups? Were they using windows seven with grandma’s internet explorer? Popups
Discord starting at startup and windows forces it into focus so I have to click back on the thing I was doing… Like 3 or 4 times. Repeat for anything else that starts at startup.
At one time I had set a song to play through a slowly-loading media player so that I could leave and when the song played I knew my computer had loaded.
Now on Linux, everything loads just the same but doesn’t force switch the focus.
That’s one thing I hate on windows. Don’t switch focus for me. Or let me startup apps minimized or something. I don’t want to be typing away in something, then mid sentence it’s switched to another app that takes a little while launcher to launch
The focus switching is a grand crime! I too hate it!
School and Linux always create something beautiful
