I'm thinking about doing it too but with w11

I haven't tried W11 LTSC. Even if you cut out the bloat, I just can't stand the interface. Hopefully 12 is better, but I'm not hopeful.

The interface is fine. The inconsistency of it is awful. Makes me wonder how the most popular os in the world, can that be bad and useless.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

You got it the wrong way round. It’s awful because it is the most popular os. If you look back at Windows XP or 7, they were clean, consistent and a pleasure to use. Everybody had XP, then 7 and by then it was too late and everybody was used to it and Microsoft can do whatever they want now and people will just take it because they’ve always used Windows. No need to put in effort.

"popular" as it "it came on every computer every Luddite got from Best Buy and contracted to every business"

Honestly, it Linux was as easy as Windows and played every steam game without any effort, windows would drown a slow death.

it's pre-installed on everything by default. that's the only reason it's """popular"""

People that lived through getting kicked off XP are like "w11 interface is fine. I've been through worse"

Hopefully 12 is better

Hahaha. Oh man, I needed that laugh. Thanks. 🥲 This is a one way journey until all computers look and behave like smartphones. Hopefully I'll have dementia by then so I won't remember how amazing computers used to be.
