well, that’s great until systemd implements age verification 🙃
(we use openrc on our Debian, you might not have to switch distros depending on which distro you pick, but don’t install a totally different init system right out of the gate when you’re new, it’s a pain to set up (but fine once set up))
(for context: systemd just implemented a field to store birth dates in. Sure, it’s optional… for NOW… but considering how fast they rushed to implement it, they’ll probably rush to implement whatever surveillance crap any given government comes up with, too. And if we all let systemd get even more deeply entrenched…)
I’m surprised at the concerns about systemd adding this field, for most users that install their own systems, they’re usually the admin, so have total control over what that field will hold for any user. 1/1/1970? Who cares?
I’m unfortunately a person who has to deal with kernel level anti cheat due to my preference in games, this was the top level route I took to try medicate my hardware.
Nobody “has to” play those games. When doing so comes at the cost of property rights and self-respect (let alone the increasing time wasted on workarounds), is it really worth it?
Dual booting always exists. (And honestly moving all your other stuff to a separate OS the “anticheat” doesn’t know how to touch is probably the best way to keep yourself safe.)
Absolutely. If you execute a script without reviewing it, you do so at your own risk! But, operating from a mindeet that the win11 debloat and tron scrips haven’t undergone supply chain attack or their creators haven’t gone rogue, these scripts help you deslop
In light of this here’s how to turn your shitty win11 into a modern win7 with these steps:
Optional 4 (if you have win11 pro or enterprise): Take command by going through all of your group policies in the GP Editor
Optional 5: Tron Script
… And then turn off automatic updates
That still requires giving money to Microslop. Never doing that again.
Linux FTW people!
Or just install linux. Preferably one that doesn’t use systemd.
Install any distro and ignore the systemd/wayland/x11 debates

Good for those who need Microslop compatibility, but seems like more effort than just loading up linux.

Re-read what you wrote.

And be skeptical of the programs you use to debloat as it is a known vector to injecting malware.
and I don’t totally trust the value of setting turned-off updates. MS has demonstrated long ago who they think is the true owner of your computer
I recommend blocking all MS at the firewall level, there’s just nothing there for any of us.
