    You need to dedicate time to adopt and learn how to get a local account on Windows and clear out the bullshit you don’t want.

    I recently switched to Linux. At first I was surprised at how easy it was to set up and get working, then I was annoyed at having to look up how to do every little thing I know how to do on Windows and considered switching back.

    Then I booted into Windows and in less than 10 minutes was fed up the whole OS. I realized I had to look up things just as often as I was on Linux, but in Linux it was because I didn’t know where it was, where as on Windows it was actively hidden from me and fighting me every step of the way.
    Windows is in no way easier, It’s just the struggle you’ve gotten so used to fighting with every single day that you’ve forgotten it exists.

      yea and if u think that ‘switch’ is not deidcated time to learn then idek. im not saying windows is easier or its bs its easier to bypass. but each step of window’s bullshit for a used to user is gonna be less effort than a switch. if someone cant do that effort (for any reason), there isnt a way around it
