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.

              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.

                  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.
