The preinstalled bloatware in Windows is what started to sour me on the OS. It used to be you could do a fresh format and you would have a clean, crisp install. Now it has Candy Crush and Tik Tok pre-installed. The fuck is that?
Yeah, I used to reinstall XP about every 6-12 months and it would be nice having a fresh, clean OS. I would do it with 7 occasionally but once 8 came out, that was the end of that.
This is patently false, and I don’t understand how this rumor is going around still. This started because people found code in windows 11 previews for subscription based windows. That was related to windows 11 enterprise iot. Not windows 12. Not windows 11. The iot version of windows.
Idk why anybody would use windows on embedded systems, but I also don’t know how this rumor is still going around.
There are many tools and scripts to remove bloatware from Windows, which is why I specified a stock install, since the majority of users will use the stock install.
Also I haven’t daily driven Windows in over a decade now. Been using Linux.
Linux FTW. I have Windows 10 on my desktop only because I heavily mod Skyrim and it’s a bitch to get all the tools and external mods to work under Linux. My laptop runs Linux and so does pretty much every other device I use.
It starts to grind you down when you’re dealing with multiple users per PC and unmanaged PCs from a bunch of different sources. Propagating start menu changes to all profiles post install is a hassle in 10 & 11. Sysprep is a lot less useful for setting up the defaults pre install now. The out of the box install process is smoother these days without as much waiting to click through various stages but the post install environment reduces your quality of life with a bunch of clicky fiddling.
Windows 11 has way more nonsense than just CandyCrush. I got a new PC with Windows 11 on it and didn’t connect it to the internet after signing in. It was waiting to autoinstall ELEVEN apps I didn’t ask for.
Windows 12 is supposed to be a subscription service.
Also Windows 10 was/is some ass compared to 7 (out of the box). Preinstalls unwanted apps like Candy Crush, has ads, inconsistent UI elements, etc.

Have you heard about decrapify? I highly recommend it for all new Win10 installs.

I used to customize the hell out of my XP installs, once they changed everything in 7 I stopped doing it and started using Linux more and more.
Multiple computers and install enviroment every decade I change pc how did I miss those relatable things time for linux

Ill click uninstall 11 times then takes less time than your comment
It definitely doesn’t take like 30 seconds to uninstall all that crap. Keep using a bloated, ad filled OS if you want. It doesn’t bother me.
No ads and not bloat since I can remove it, keep lying and have fun troubleshooting Linux angry boy
Go back under your bridge
1 billion windows users under the bridge you know better 😜
