My use is a bit hyperbolic

it really is, across the board.

It’s not 1998 anymore. No one cares about the desktop anymore as long as you can run Firefox.

I use it in the sense

right, like i figured, you’ve got your own definition 👍

They're essentially gaslighting you into believing that they actually own your PC

can you share some examples of this behavior?

gaslighting

Bro, i cut my teeth on FreeBSD 2.2.x and served in the Great Linux / Windows wars of 95 and 98…

but im not so sure MS ever gaslit anyone. everyone seemed to have a pretty solid perception of reality.

Maybe the term gaslighting means something new to you 🤷

sure sounds like you have some funny hardware configurations with all these issues you have across OSes.

👍

updates work.

MS won’t disable them - they want people to move to Windows 11.

Congrats on migrating to Linux! it’s what i’ve been pushing friends and family towards for decades, and thankfully Ubuntu is in a position right now to be a fine desktop OS, esp for the average user who lives in a web browser.

I’ve had no issues on the machines i’ve done this with, aside from having to do an upgrade in place with a major update (used rufus, write the latest iso, did the upgrade from the bootable usb.

regular windows updates work without hassle. perhaps your predecessor didn’t use a complete solution 🤷

oh nice - thanks for sharing, i was not aware of this and will add it to my toolbox!

Just in case anyone reading doenst know - the free tool Rufus can write a Win 11 ISO to your usb drive md remove all the silly soft requirements.
