I’m on 24H2 Windows 11 with a local account set up, ran windows debloat tool and have CoPilot/onedrive/other data mining features un-installed.

Edit: I have a plan to make the switch to Linux. For now I was just looking for any feedback on how to handle current Windows OS. I whole heartedly hate Microsoft as much as the next, I promise lol.

    Oof, I hear you there. So the CAD software you use won’t run under WINE?

    Oddly enough, I’ve repaired a plasma cutter controller system running CAD software from 1991, running under Microsoft Xenix of all things.

    It probably ain’t too much of a stretch to get that software running under Linux, if only the company released their source code.

    It was cheaper for them to keep their old stuff running than dump $20,000+ into a new updated system.

      Yeah, too glitchy (missing functionality) with wine and the cloud services are unreliable if working at all. Work stuff so gotta use it 🫠
