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?

    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.

          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.

            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.

                  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.
