Hello everylefty, it’s me: the anon who wanted a new laptop - i have bought one (shitty referbished hp laptop) and its fine but comes pre-loaded with windows 11

I’ll install linux later but for now i want to use windows for a bit so i can play some games whilst i figure out how to install linux, so in the meantime i’d like some quick advice on some windows stuff (i know theres windows threads in tech, i’ll read those later):

  • how do i get rid of any unecessary bloat
  • get rid of all ai shit and stop them from training off of my data
  • maximise privacy so they don’t harvest that much data

Any advice would be appreciated

Use YouTube retard.

Search for unbloated windows installation tutorial

Make local account by going offline and typing some shit into command prompt, choose english (international) as your language is it won't auto install bloat from the store

Step 3 realize windows doesn't have privacy and switch to Linux

Also use massgrave to active windows forever for free (approved by Microsoft ((their support often uses it))

Op here, i’m tryna download mullvad vpn but every time i go on the website it shows the “looks like theres a problem” screen; it’s obviously not the website itself because it still loads on other devices, so what gives?

Linux Mint can be simply installed from .exe file, has windows-like UI, and requires virtually no knowledge of code for casual user.

If you're looking for a windows like ui and feel, id recommend KDE as your desktop environment. It can be installed on any Linux distro.
If you're anything like me, you'll probably distro hop.
Ubuntu is aight for beginners, but the more you learn about Linux you'll likely want to find something different. And you get gnomed instantly.
Fedora I've heard is good for beginners as well, probably a better distro overall than Ubuntu, but I haven't tried it.
Mint is essentially Ubuntu with a different default desktop environment, and no snap packages. Pretty good in general, though I'm not that big a fan of cinnamon mate.
I personally use endeavorOS as my daily driver, because I don't care about being elitist around arch, and I don't mind using CLI to do things.

If you're interested in being a weeb or editing config files endlessly to make something that looks pretty, check out window managers like hyprland and i3.

Fuck windows, I only use it to play league with my friends. Everything else is done on Linux.

Ok so this also happens on the surfshark website but not on the nordvpn website… it’s strange because the mullvad website works on other devices? Idk what the problem is

And i don’t think it’s a browser thing because i did it on edge too

Nvm, it was just librewolf i guess
