If you have no choice but to use Windows download Microsoft 10 LTSC iot, lock down all policies and use Shutup10 and WPD to remove all telemetry. Blackbird can also block specific Windows 10 addresses that phone home but it's better to just get a third party firewall and block them because Blackbird can sometimes break things.

I also was able to remove Microsoft EDGE forever using this. Follow the steps exactly:

https://gist.github.com/ave9858/c3451d9f452389ac7607c99d45edecc6#file-uninstalledge-ps1

If an update you want forces edge back then just follow the steps again. If Edge "remnants" remain, use bulk crap uninstaller on any leftovers.

I've never had the search bar return or anything I didn't want to return on a locked down Windows 10 LTSC installation except Edge, and that's easy to remove. You can even turn off updates for a while if you want to, but I still update because you should.

If you have hardware that needs Windows 11, they're releasing an LTSC version of that, too soon.

And some people say Linux is the difficult one.

This is an extremely disingenuous comment.

"In Linux you have to use the command line for everything" (not real since years ago) "Windows makes everything easy, not like Linux" (read/heard too many times)

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

me, currently with 1 Command prompt open running FFMPEG to stitch images to a GIF, while concurrently 2 power shell consoles are open each running different python environments for stable diffusion and LLM. Not seeing an issue haha

I said "have to", not "can" ๐Ÿ˜‰

Using Windows for AI is like trying to fight off a group of muggers with one arm purposefully tied behind your back. You can do it, but why would you?

Huh well, thats not been my experience in the slightest, so {shrug}

Its a hobby for me, not a profession. I'm rocking a massive 3060TI so you know i'm serious lmao

How would you know if you've never untied your arm?

Seriously though, Windows is a heavy bloated pig. There's a reason why you can't install Windows on a DGX server.

Why are you talking down to me? did I say I am unfamiliar with Linux based systems? Take your assumptions elsewhere.

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well, you didn't say you were familiar with using Linux. And your previous comment "this is an extremely disingenuous comment" suggests you are.

And no one is talking down to you.
