Thanks but no, I don’t want to buy a completely new hardware just to change my OS

I do have it on the side with some windows plug in right now.

Thanks, right now I do have w11 and I’m fine with it. I have uninstalled one drive and other bloatware, the thing that is making me want to quit is the potential forced ai shit.

Downgrading to w10 is an escape route that seems the most valid, it feels like asking Linux communities is counter productive, because I specifically don’t want to have my OS be a hobby, but I’m asking OS hobbyists…

If Microsoft goes the way of AI slop, Apple will soon follow so I don’t see that helping me much

I’m not a child, gamer nor grandma but last time i tried mint a few years ago i literally cried, so it might be something for me

I’m not very tech savvy and I’m just happy to have an account somewhere lol.

recently found out this is a shunned view on a lot of lemmy

They often don’t let you in without being registered to an app:(

I will eventually get it, my current phone still has a lot of time in it but even the fairphone is running android and you need google services if you want to use your banking apps…

i know this will be controversial here but both bad. Technological megacorpos and monopolies have too much power.

I’m generally very left and anti cap, that doesn’t mean I support Russia or the USSR…

Didn’t know there’s a legion of tankies on lemmy lol

mostly seen dpkr be called a threat to it’s own citizen, which is very true

don’t think the post is arguing otherwise
