Microsoft needs to die.

You need to abandon windows. You know their goals. You know they can't be trusted. Stop giving them chances to get it right and fuck you.

We have that. Its called Arch. And I've done .net development on it.

Do i have news for you, youll need .net.
Either for windows stuff, or for your games ( most likely launchers )

Isnt that basically enterprise?

It was my understanding enterprise edition stripped out all that bullshit.

If a "lite" version removed their ability to spy on you they'd have to charge you $4,000/year for the privilege, just to make up the difference.

What is wrong with .NET, it's very useful when running applications which require it which of course is basically every application in a corporate environment.

But yeah all the other things are fine.

It's easier to just use Linux.

windows lite

So you mean Linux? No telemetry? No ads? No AI? No .net? Also just works? Also free? Also free as in beer?

Yeah, people need Linux

the fact that you list .net shows you dont have the knowledge to make this claim

If you are techy enough you could install a cracked version of w11 pro or LTSC, then use amiliorated or any other decrapifier. As well Chris titus script can help. This will remove all telemetry and various MS malware.

Im using it since a while to game and it's great. Also not memory intensive and no shit running in the background or reinstalling after updates

Install Linux, Problem Solved.

Windows and the fascist company behind it needs to die.

No .NET 😂 what's still running after that?

Microsoft is losing Builders fast.

Good.

This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.

No, Windows needs to lose more users. Hope they never change.

Windows losing noticeable numbers of users is a huge net gain for society. Hopefully it continues, regardless of Microslop's actions.

in sum, linux with backwards compatability (a lazy excuse for not cleaning stuff up) and DOS commands. oh, and closed source.

If there was a viable Windows Lite, wouldn’t everyone just use that?

What's wrong with .NET?

why would they? the telemetry, spying and bloatware is the whole idea for them. At least for regular users. We are the product and the data they harvest from us and ads they force on us is the point. And why would they care, majority of people just sticks with whatever was presented to them first. No matter how much bloat and spyware they add, majority will never care enough to do anything about it because it doenst directly affect them beyond slowing the computer down, which they think will be solved by buying a new one.
