@metin step 1 : grab a bootable usb stick with your favorite Linux distribution

@Arioch @metin

While I broadly agree, and this is the action I took a couple of years ago, that’s not realistic for a lot of people. So for those folk posts like this to help them claw back at least some control of their own computer are essential.

@metin i've been using win 10 for many years. Is it necessary to actually upgrade to 11?

@Chiwo_Design @metin It goes end-of-life in October, so the answer is "yes" if you want a supported OS.

@lunarloony @Chiwo_Design Yeah, Microsoft is starting to push Windows 11.

@metin @Chiwo_Design Yes, push it down the throat of everyone who's even looked at a computer

@lunarloony @metin damn... i remember these kind of things made me switch to ubunto like 10 years ago, although i will need some time to plan a workaround of the stuff i do in the computer now
