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.

No. Tools. Computers are tools.

If that's the case, by far, you are the exception. Aside from games (that is now closing too), most people can very easily replace their windows install with Linux. The vast majority in fact.

I still use tools that have not been maintained and/or updated in 10+ years - because the creators were either silenced, or.. silenced.

There are no alternatives. Linux with SystemD is just as pozzed as Windows, yet the Linux crowd likes to play pretend and virtue signal.

There is Linux without systemd. And you exaggerate. Though by I do agree systemd sucks.

And your comment didn't change the facts. Vastly, most people can easily switch.
