I wish you a good luck! And don't hesitate to ask - often times it's very simple, actually!

    Thanks, it's been many years since my last attempt. I have a Linux server since about a year ago, I just need to switch my main computer.

    Honestly shifting from reddit to lemmy has lifted such a mental burden that I feel like leaving Windows will be even better. It's so oppressive dealing with the unending - and apparently increasing - current of enshittification.

    After purging Edge from my system it came back after the latest update, and I got some notification that turned out to be an ad. When I went to turn it off I found they were all already off so idk if I even can disable that without first finding a tutorial that acknowledges the problem - rather than just telling me to turn it off - and following whatever arcane bullshit I need to fix it.

    I remember once there was X setting, and it did nothing. Then I found a tutorial that explained how you could dig into the registry and flip the "RespectXSetting" setting. Actual gaslighting.

    Sorry, I realise I am trauma dumping now. I just want off mr bones wild ride.
