Often. 10:53 You have to adapt to it 15:14 It's highly intrusive 17:44 Debloating tools don't make it good 20:19 Windows fails at being an OS 21:33 Alternatives are better, but not perfect 27:23 Windows is a sales platform, not an OS

Though that's less recommended these days. I run Debian on proxmox for different server needs. And my laptop is fedora bluefin. Desktop, as infrequently used as it is, still runs Windows for the few times a year when I absolutely need Windows on bare metal. Plus I keep a Windows 10 VM on the server for the one every month or two that I need it. Try as I might to get away from windows, when you're part of a team, and the only one running Linux, sometimes you get weird incompatibilities, and you just need to do it on Windows 🤦♂️ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* I would be careful with any "neutering" tools then, depending on your work, because some can mess with Teams, CoPilot, or whatever else you need. Check the options before you run the tools. Windows Store apps like Teams work fine for me, though, as do IDEs. permalink fedilink source parent
