When you buy a new PC—whether a high-end gaming device or an entry-level laptop—you expect it to be clean from the start. However, Windows 11 typically comes with at least a few unwanted pre-installed apps, called bloatware. How should you remove bloatware from your PC?

Posting "just use Linux" on the Windows community? How original.

thatd be a great solutuon though.

windows aint getting better with its antiuser garbage, folks, might as well switch to something ours.

Sure, just ignore the entire point of the community. Great """solution""" bud

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it is a great solution. I never had to deal with Microsoft bullshit again when I realized no amount of tuning Windows will stop them fom reinstalling all the bloatware next update.

thats not at ALL what i said.

i said you dont have to get assfucked by microsoft to use a computer.

here it is spelled out for you.

It's a simplified version of your argument. Considering this is the Windows 11 community it's not only just stupid, it's also utterly distasteful, to even bother suggesting Linux.

If you can't understand how this is a simplified version of your 'argument', then that's the core issue. At least try to comprehend how you're in the wrong here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

no, its really not what i'm saying at all.

you are equating using an alternative to not using a computer at all, and it seems to be why you reject the idea that said alternative can be a solution to windows' pervasive issues.

its the mentality that got us here in the first place and since antitrust is not a thing anymore, being actually open to the only alternative is pretty much all we can do to fix it at its roots now.

I don't know how else it can be explained.

This. Is. The. WINDOWS 11 COMMUNITY.

It is pointless, moronic, idiotic, stupid, and just plain wrong to bring up an "alternative".

It's simply off-topic.

Want to criticize Windows or Microsoft for their choices regarding Windows 11? Fine. It's on topic. Even though it's like beating a dead horse and you show your boring cult-like following that lacks the comprehension of nuance.

No one here is even claiming that Linux is bad in any way. It just does not belong here.

So I coudn't discuss iOS on an Android comm or vice versa?

I can and I did many many times to highlight things that are wrong with one, but that the competitor does inequivocally right.

Fanboyism is the real dumb move. It's completely pointless to moan about the enshitification of Windows without discussing Linux because it has this particular problem solved despite all the valid criticism you could give it. This applies to every set of competing products.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Not sure if you're being intentionally dense or not...

Where are you actually criticizing Windows and using Linux as an example of specific criticisms when you just say or advocate for "use Linux instead"? That's not a discussion about Windows criticisms, it's the exact kind of fanboyism you said is a dumb move, which has been my point this whole time so thanks for agreeing with me.

Wow you’re an angry little dipshit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Being mad that Linux would work for more people than who already realize it would?! Super original. Suggestions of Linux are typically universally loved!!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not when it's being shoved down their throat in every other post. Not everyone is interested in switching and answering people's questions with "lol why you not on Linux just switch!" Are a waste of people's time and not likely to get people to really switch. In fact, being pushy will reinforce people deciding NOT to switch.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Every other post? It's almost like it's popular. I wonder why? Maybe, it's better. Just maybe.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I never claimed it was a successful strategy. In fact my only point is that people react to it the same way every time. Annoyed. No matter how the message is delivered or when it is

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That is not at all the issue. This is the Windows 11 community. By bringing up Linux it entirely misses the whole point of the community. Not everything has to be about Linux, regardless of your feelings about it. It's like saying "all lives matter".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Microsoft won't stop enshittifying Windows reardless of how you feel about it. Or how unfamiliar Linux feels for you.

You already need an insane amount of scripting just to make it usable.

It's like saying "all lives matter".

I think this is the worst comparison in human history. Props.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

This right here proves no one cares what you think

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Comment above already mentioned the chris Titus script that thing works like a charm. I use it as well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do you think that somehow excuses your poor behavior?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

It wasnt that big of a deal in the first place.
