Let's see. Its full of ads, spyware and the ui is a complete mess.
I can't imagine why people a digging in there heals
I am on Windows 11. The UI has been more consistent than 10 ever was and I am curious where the ads are.
The 'news' thing in the taskbar counts, I think. As does the recommended apps and preinstalled candy crush. It's looking less and less like a professional tool nowadays.
You can hide the news button on the taskbar and I uninstalled all of those extra, pre-installed, bloat apps. My taskbar looks just as clean as it has for the past 20 years.
It should not be necessary to do that in the first place.
Tbf that's all in the consumer editions.
Even a "pro" install on Windows 10 pre-configured via Rufus will try to install fucking Candy Crush. Professional software my ass.
Ubuntu at least has a very clear "what you need it for" question in its setup, and extended support for older versions for corps. Seems like companies may actually be better off on Linux these days unless you they're using Adobe products.
You confuse what I meant. In a professional environment, the images should be customized via deployment toolkit. These things should not be in the image at all. But I'll admit I haven't looked at the windows 11 builds but I used to do windows 10 and earlier. Any bloatware et al is taken out before production deployments.
