The Linux side of me still persists through. I'm using the terminal more than I wished, file managing will just be used on my bootable USB cause Windows still has catastrophic failures, and I still use our old 2008 pc with Linux Mint XFCE

Windows 11 introduced too many things I don't like, and I hate being forced to accept them.
And no, being able to "debloat" it every update to unfuck it is not enough to make me want to give it a shot.
I've stopped at Windows 10 and it's been the last straw for me when it kept fucking my hardware drivers and installing more trash I waste time to remove using unconventional means.

Ironically I'm having Linux problems right now but that's beside the point, lol

Windows 10 not ltsc is another way to go for those that don't want ro deal with Windows, but I mean it when ive said that I actually wished I had some of Windows 11's features when I downgraded to iot ltsc 10 previously

If I wanted to Switch to Linux, I would've needed an NVIDIA free PC, as well as Parsec Hosting to be available on Linux. If those options are available fore then I can switch. I could put Linux on my college laptop but then again, its my college laptop.

When You mean you don't like the problems Windows 11 has, are you using Tiny11 that's been created using the Tiny11builder and not the Tiny11 prebuilt ISO?

I mean if it's like how Windows 10 works, it was constantly a game of cat and mouse where new updates would re-add the bloat previously removed, and require registry editing to unfuck stuff, without counting the drivers that might have been nuked in the process, etc.

For me it was especially frustrating because there were occasional updates that would straight up make my laptop keyboard and mousepad stop working.
Only way I was able to solve it was from using a USB Keyboard and Mouse, lmao
There's also the Activation thingy that was always a mess to keep, because I refuse to buy Windows for obvious reasons.

TBH if Tiny11 is really that good and won't be at risk of being broken just from a normal Windows update, and gets rid of all the AI junk and Telemetry, restores the Start and Right Click menus, etc, maybe it would be worth giving it a shot, my Windows 10 partition is basically on Life Support and I literally never use it unless I have no other way around it for certain things that don't work on Linux for example.

I've been using Tiny11builder tiny11 for a while now, and the only instance of Microsoft adding something onto my PC was when it randomly put Edge on my PC. Even though Debloat11 mentioned that there would be problems uninstalling it, I did it nonetheless and nothing bad happened to it. I'm consistently checking to ensure that MS doesn't add anything else, and I think tiny11 is doing a good job.

tiny11builder tiny11 + debloat11 does this by default

I wish I could go more than the 420 character limit...........

Nice!
Might be worth a shot then.

My Frankenlaptop runs Windows 10 quite well so I assume Windows 11 should work, even if it may be "unsupported" officially.

My laptop is incredibly picky as far as running an Operating System goes, I have no idea why.

You can check this thread on how to install Tiny11 properly and NOT using the prebuilt ISO.

Niiice!

My laptop is a "gaming" machine from 2015 so it's definitely going to work.

Thanks, if I can sort of figure a way to upgrade from my current Windows 10 install to Tiny11 this might be worth a shot.

I mean since I'm already in the middle of trying to unfuck my Linux, might as well have some fun with the Windows living alongside of it.

You're welcome!

PLEASE update me with the results, as this is the first time teaching someone other than myself on how to get Tiny11 to work and all that. I hope that by getting this to run that you don't have any problems getting it installed. By doing this you could also make a local account by default but if not you're always able to do the
`start ms-cxh:localonly` command
