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.

White label, independently created and run security software that does not have Linux packages.

The Linux "alternatives" are (usually) open source and do not have adequate levels of functionality.

Anything from methods of encryption to stenography libraries.

I have yet to find alternatives in the Linux world that are adequate.

This is one example, I have 20 others.

You do know that the software you cited literally lists linux packages as a feature right? Open VPN, etc.... It also claims to work with all customer OS.

You're other claims are kind of generic and I don't believe them to be true but couldn't really debate without specifics. Also not really interested as I'm not trying to change your opinion and you're welcome to not learn new things just because you don't want to but making false claims is nigger tier.

Final point in all things networking and info sec Linux is the undisputed king. Fill stop. {wireshark, openvas, every command line networking tool known to man, metasploit, SET, etc...}

Afterthought edit.... : I'm willing to concede on the enterprise stuff as the requirements there come from others. For personal use no one needs windows.
