It's times like these that you remember how the Internet has become filled with advertisements to the point that it interferes with normal use. Not suprising to hear older folks still getting random crap on their devices when it's shown in their face every moment.

Thanks for the transparency, let's hope for a smooth migration! 🀞

The new island is pretty short, but really enjoyable. Have fun! :)

Such a gem! I've 100% it a few months ago, playing exclusively on Steam Deck. Recommended for anyone who likes games such as A Short Hike, Lil Gator Game, etc.

Fair enough, I was only joking haha. I'm using both Sync and Eternity (known as Infinity for Lemmy) and both clients render Markdown. Can't say for others clients. Seems like not every client see the same thing...

Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It's still far from perfect, but every step counts.

Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you're using Gamepass or "Play anywhere" titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).

Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.

It's been a hot minute since I've used Windows, but you'd be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.

If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.

From what I've seen online, it must be done during installation. So short answer, no.

As others have said, you could also backup your data and do a fresh installation (from a boot media, not from Windows itself just to be extra safe).

ThioJoe also has a video talking about this English (Europe/World) thing and also provide a Powershell script to delete Windows bloatware. This option could be interesting if you don't want to reset your whole installation.

You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don't, you probably should because most apps are now there).

I've seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech's winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge...

Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there's alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) [email protected]

Same scenario for me! My laptop only serve to have a device when I'm on-the-go, but at home, I use my desktop. It was one of the reason why I went with an older Thinkpad, it's well supported and with no dedicated GPU, it's dead silent most of the time. I'd love a 16:10 screen, but the options are pretty expensive and often not as repairable as my T480.
