STAY ON WINDOWS 10!

Using Wireshark to check what a freshly-installed copy of Windows 11 was doing on a brand-new laptop, what they saw was eye-opening to say the least: just after the first boot, Windows 11 was quick to try and reach third-party servers with absolutely no prior user permission or intervention.

Many of the Windows 11 initial DNS queries where designed to provide "telemetry" data to market research companies, advertising providers and even geolocation-related domains like geo-prod-do with no permission or web browsing activity needed. The latest and greatest in the Windows line of operating systems is seemingly designed to "spy" on anyone and everything from the get-go.

Furthermore, every Windows 11 computer has a hidden SuperAdmin account in its roots that gives Microsoft full access to your machine. This SuperAdmin account cannot be disabled and has more rights than the user itself.

Enable or Disable the Built-in Administrator Account on Windows 11.

I'm so sick of hearing this. I've run Gentoo for years and these drama lama horror stories are just bullshit.

e.g. I update every piece of software on my machine with this: emerge -auUN world

My pc has uptimes of 30 - 40 days. It gets rebooted at kernel updates and that's it. Tell me again how your PC that needs three reboots a day "just works". BTW I'm on the same OS install from 2017.....

Tell me, how long can your "just works PC" make it without a reboot?

Every printer, every video card, have to google a fix for everything I had to do. Could I just used the repo and used linux software. Yes I could I did for the most part. Fucking with wine with every game I ever wanted to play.

Cant install hardware where the mfg doesn't release drivers for linux. This was years ago.

I would hope it is better by now.

On Win10 since 2017. The only time this pc resets is to install updates.
