I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Does anyone know if the EU protects against this? I am in Europe (well Switzerland, so technically not EU, but GDPR etc. nonetheless) and using windows 11 as my daily driver on two machines (one with beta) I have never seen ads.

EDIT: except for the 'finish setting up' stuff after bigger updates, those I do get.

EU gets Windows 11 'N'. It's gdpr compliantnane doesn't include the ads. I don't know about the telemetry though.

Anyone can install Windows N, just select it during the installation

I'd still recommend debloating it using some script though

Ok this is just absurd if there's really file explorer ads

Someone actually downvoted this. That person is a loser and a bootlicker. Sucks to be you!

If you absolutely MUST use Windows, use it with AtlasOS.

Otherwise, Debian w/ KDE Plasma is your panacea.

I’ve read about that one

https://atlasos.net

Then there was a similar tool and some discussion about one or the other being either buggy or problematic?

Also - I remember NTlite or similar was out there and lots of talk of Chris Titus’ debloater - haven’t used any at least not in over 5 years

That was probably Atlas, it disables a bunch of security features as part of debloating, so I wouldn't recommend it unless it's an offline device

Does anyone happen to know what Mastodon client this is? I'm assuming this is on iOS
