Windows 11 is not as bad as people think.. it's worse.
@petar0402 The last good Windows version was Windows 7.. That too was probably infected by telemetry at the end of its life.
It was more fun waiting for the commodore 64 to load a game 👍
Then go to Linux. Good bye!
@@Nick41622 I am already using Linux since 2020 as subsequent motherboards cant take Windows 7. Stay happy with your 'personalized ' ads and telemetry in Windows 11.
Good bye!
@@iodboi I see no ads, Linux fanboy, they are all turned off. Goodbye!
The ceiling reeks, the walls are crumbling, the furniture is rotting away, but that doesn't mean the house is bad.
You're right. The house is going bad.
@@funkymunkyManuel: No No No. Not bad. I fix. Mr Fawlty say I can fix house.
1. it's all marketing spyware now.
2. updates suck and often install garbage apps you don't want.
3. UI is reduced to sliders and buttons, not true settings.
4. Microsoft... you get what sucks. Disappointing billions since DOS.
Advertisements don't belong in your operating system period . One day burial will not be permitted unless the coffin has an always on display tormenting your dead eye sockets with ads for all of eternity . That's their end game plan and I believe it lol .
@MichaelDustter yeah I forgot that they'll also charge you for the ads . the revolution is coming my friend - but unfortunately this time it will be advertised ! ( They'll find a way to make money from their own demise lol . )
Don’t forget the privacy concerns! Would you install a monitoring camera inside your home for additional payment?
Windows 11 was built on Windows 10. Microsoft is not creating a new OS from scratch, they reused the code from previous versions of Windows
Gotta start somewhere.
Look deep in the Registry Editor and you'll see ProductName: Windows 10. I kid you not.
I think moddern Windows probably still has code from the days of NT 3.1 and 9x.
yes that is how all operating systems work, including Linux. Also Windows 11 is based on....... Windows 95.
You don't want to build an entirely new operating system, that would be a bad idea, it will result in compatibility issues etc.
truth true
Windows 11 (and 10) suck because it crams in too much crap that I didn't ask for, which is hard to remove, and none of which is needed to make the OS function. I simply refuse to waste my time with it, that's why I stay with Windows 7 + Mint, and XP on some retro laptops.
@MichaelDustter Michael, the trouble is that with the (easy) availability of information and purported 'advice' (which is often indistinguishable from latest trends) ; critical thinking has been binned. Now critical thinking (which came from the need to distill insight from available meagre information) is simply not needed, as people blindly trust what they are told, and companies like Micro$hit hog media and scream from the top of the lungs that Micro$hit Win(x) is the best thing that came on earth since prophets started coming out of the middle east. (Substitute the latest version for x; I used the simple function terminology)
Windows XP was a good OS. At lest it was for me.
@@derhohlenbar I loved XP and 7 Probably two best OS made. Had to revert back to windows 10 due to 11 issues.
What makes Windows 11 bad is that Microsoft took away most of our choices (such as the taskbar properties or start menu). Then they decided to rearrange things and not allow us to (natively) choose how we want them (such as the context menus). Windows is a productivity tool, changing it, arbitrarily, interferes with me getting my work done.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov - Linux may be the way to go but how much time and effort am I now required to learn a whole new OS? I just want to use my computer, not be an expert on it. Like I just want to drive my car to get to work, and not be an auto-mechanic.
Did Microsoft pay you?
Video: WINDOWS IS TRASH
Sponsor: Buy Windows Today!
@MichaelDustter Wisdom comes with understanding that established ways suck.
Bad UI, ads, telemetry, Microsoft account requirement, etc. It's basically malware at this point and not an OS.
Its terrible windows are trying to do what apple has done which is have an ecosystem which you cannot tweak out of the box. Windows should be a simple basic install and you add things in that you want.
Back in the Windows 9X days, when you installed Windows, it let you choose which accessories and other features to install. Microsoft has taken that way
@@davinp windows 8.x days
Well to build an ecosystem they first need to be trustworthy to maintain there devices functionality.
Given how they discontinued there windows phone plattform, and announced to efectively more or less brick Windows Mixed Reality Devices by removing the driver from Windows Store, i don't think they will suceed, nor do i wish them to.
What worries me more is all that KI Shit that will be build in Windows 12 and also scanning your text documents
that could be easily sold to governments as a tool to oppress people with unpopular opinions.
Also if you don't want Windows to not automatically delete false positives or Penetration Testing tools
you need to deactivate all the Windows Defender stuff exept the Firewall, delete MRT.exe and set some registry tweak that stops MRT from being offered (automatically reinstalled) through windows update.
Who kidnapped Brian?!
I think he's been replaced by a Microsoft AI.
Ed Bott's evil clone has kidnapped Brian. It's desperate. Brian is being force fed Microsoft propaganda data files. Brian's brain is already turning into a square window.
He married Copilot.
@@CAL1MBO 🤣🤣🤣
I used for some time. But when I found it difficult to stop the anti-virus and firewall applications, I removed it and returned to Windows 10.
Windows defender is a bunch of intrusive crap. They try to block things like other browsers and so force.
@@whitewolf6730 Hmm... my defender must be of different breed ...
Never tried to block my firefox
Windows 10 is dead. No more security updates.
@@j_shelby_damnwird Eh well, I heard rumor that MS gonna provide sec update for it past 2025, but with yearly fee that doubles each subsequent year
Windows 11 lasted all of a couple of hours on a new mini I bought, then reverted it back to 10. Took two days to get all the drivers installed. Then put Fedora on as well, up and running in 20 minutes including customisating.
If Windows 11 is so good ! Why are there so many third party apps out there to modify Windows 11 for nearly every user of Windows 11 ? If an OS is any good it would have good user customization built in. Preventing users from customising the OS is very bad. Either they are worried the OS security could be easily compromised due to poor design and programming knowledge or they are too lazy to bring out an OS that Window's users deserve and need !
For the most part people do not want to do it their self. The tools do it are as simple as typing in one command to pull up group policy or going through the settings menu. The majority does not want to and thinks messing with group policy will brick their system since it can turn on and off stuff they do not understand. Thankfully you cannot brick your system with it you just can turn off stuff you might want turned on is all.
You have to think what will the user who wants the UI of windows 10 back but doesn't want to learn the how so uses another program to make it happen.
@@yumri4 I understand this, I have dealt with lots of new Windows users that are scared to death to mess with any windows settings in fear of causing damage or losing pictures and data etc. Microsoft should also know this as they have been attempting to create OS's for over 35 years. A pity they do not listen to the users of their products. If you look back in history MS had some great OS's back in the day with 80% of computer users using MDOS and Windows XP. Unfortunately now they have less than 48% on Windows 10 and about 22% on Windows 11. It is now dropping for both of them. If most of you're customers tell you they do not like the new OS you do not try and force it on them, that makes it worse for yourself. When it comes to OS's you're customers know what they want, more than you do. The sales tell you after 3 years. Windows 11 is more bloated not just adware and spyware built in, but it is built on previous versions of windows, just painted over and slight changes here and there to make it look new. that why 3rd part app developers are able to create apps to change the way it looks.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov I have been waiting over 20 years for Linux to be the golden OS, I wish more people would take the plunge. Linux gets stuff done better than MS or the others.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov for the majority they just want it to work and the ones of them that don't want bloat also want a quick solution they do not have to think about either so linux will be a bad OS choice for them
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov again ppl looking for a quick fix to their problem. Finding people online telling them to "just use linux" then doing so. In my mind for the majority of stuff people do windows and windows are equal to one another. Depending on the distro they go with linux might collect more of your data while others might collect less.
For people who need to use specialized programs windows is still the most compatible while for everything else it will work on both.
In short Linux might be the same as windows some even provide in a close enough interface like Mint Linux with the cinnamon UI
My system is 32gb of RAM, Core i 7 gen 12, RTX 3070, and 144hz monitors...
Somehow windows 11 are CLUNKY as hell...
Why?
Why rushing user with those premature WEBVIEW2...
The result is those janky and inconsistencies of performance
Even 560hz RTX 4090 would have the same story. Inherent lag.
Tried it on my i9 32GB RAM Computer, and it was doing the same thing, when I had various jobs open. So I had to go back to Win 10. Big Hassle.
Chris Titus updates his script regularly. I've had no issues with his scripts and O&O shutup 10 I rerun it after every update, again no issues. I've even had a newbie friend of mine use those, and she's wowed by how much faster her computer is.
his script is amazing i agree
That script is more useful than anything this useless clickbait guy has ever said.
An OS that changes my settings randomly on updates is not an OS I will use ever.
I don't know why they just cant make a bare bones OS, no bloat, no telemetry, no ads, just the essentials, can run all your software, and of course, for free. THAT's what I want in an OS.
because selling your private data is big money
@@j_shelby_damnwird buy his private data to prove your claim.
Too much money behind the crap MS is trying to pull in Win11. It's the reason they're trying so hard to convince/forcing people to upgrade to it.
Imagine the compatibility work it takes to achieve this. Would definitely buy that.
It's not bad for someone, like Britech, it's terrible for ignorant people like myself😂😂😂
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov If 3.88% of people = to everyone then wow I must be bad at Math's 🤣
The Windows userbase has actually increased from 62.65% in April 2023 to 73.5% in April 2024 so yeah "Everyone is moving to Linux"
11 is just so so, the only issue for me is the "show more options" to make cut, copy, and past more time consuming. Plus the fact that I had to buy a mini PC in case something wouldn't run on Windows 10 one day.
show more options disable via registry
Optionally, if you prefer not to use an app. Then you can also disable “show more options” via a Windows registry adjustment.
Open a Command Prompt as administrator. Then copy and paste the line below into Command Prompt.
reg add “HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32” /f /ve
The biggest issue for me is the folder icons. I have 5,000+ photos and with these horizontal folder icons, it takes me at least "3" times longer to find a photo. With Windows 7 and 10, the icons were vertical showing at least 2 or more photos. It was quicker to find them, documents as well.
@ericadams3428 if you get in quick enough you can use various progs like Explorer Patcher, Winaero Tweaker and WinToys to change the right-click menu and the file explorer ribbon back to the win 10 style. There's also a program to completely disable windows updates which I use because the update is coming which BLOCKS customizing windows and I want no part of that bullsh*t.
Hello, you can actually press shift + right click, and it will show just like what you wanted. I'm like "🤯" when I first learned about it. It's weird that Microsoft don't tell us about it.
@@Robert-sl7jo I'm not really sure what's your problem, but you can change the view options and choose what's the best for you.
Windows 7 was peak windows
I moved to Linux mint to avoid that very telemetry. No OS is perfect though, use the best one for your needs!
and here you are on RUclips who also collect telemetry
@@Britec09 No comparison actually. OS telemetry is far worse especially with a closed source OS. I have many browser settings to stop RUclips knowing much.
I can't put the taskbar down the side. That's my problem.
I have wide monitors and I have extra space at the side, not the bottom. My new PC came with Windows 11 but I down graded to 10 to get the side bar.
Agree. Typing this post on Windows Vista 64 Ultimate with the 3-D animated taskbar docked on the side and looking gorgeous.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov Linux has 3.8% of the desktop market share. At the rate it's going, it will have 20% by 2100. Winning! More malware for all.
Linux Mint is just so much easier to use. No forced updates, no telemetry/tracking, no forced restarts, no AI stuff I don't need or want, start menu still works the same way, doesn't add an extra right-click... I only need Windows for a few programs so I run a Windows 10 VM in a virtualbox.
Resisting AI stuff is like resisting to use browsers. No tracking is huge benefit that comes at tremendous cost of no gaming.
@@IrrationalDelusion no, most of us simply don't need "AI assistants". Being prompted by every, site, browser and app now to use their pet chatbot is obnoxious and I'm yet to be impressed by a single one to the point that I would actually use it. Much like the assistants on phones - they look good on paper, boardroom presentations and tailored adverts but in reality offer nothing but a glorified browser search and very limited and temperamental support for simple commands on other apps.
All general users need browsers, and they serve their purpose effectively without issue or bloat as long as you avoid Bing or Google. Thats the difference, browsers since Day 1 have been essential and an immensely helpful tool for everyone - AI assistants are mostly a gimmick with many already being ditched as only a handful of major AI products fill an actual role that needed to be filled whereas most tech brands a desperately chasing the trend like they did with Crypto and NFTs.
@@_s_9920 This is no crypto/NFT, it does job instead of 4000$ salary person faster, but with more mistakes. ChatRTX literally searches through files.. That's insane capability.
I used to buy PCs direct from Microsoft with Windows 10 Signature Edition. It was a clean OS with no pre-installed bloatware. Is the signature edition still an option with Windows 11? Alternatively, will performing a clean install of Windows 11 remove all bloatware?
Simple answer - it's not Windows 7
I thought about some of these options and quite frankly, why do so? I have left my Win 10 as was, if it works, why fix it? After so many win OS's MicroSoft still seems to sail rudderless, is there an end goal, or is MS just ambling along from one disaster to the next? I am considering moving to Linux so I may install it on a spare disk and play around with it.
Windows 11 just installed some updates and the recovery option of rolling back is no longer available on my PC and is greyed out. I don't have the sidebar on the left with my list of hard drive. Dell XPS 8960 Windows 11 Pro.
I checked Gpedit for Windows Update and then checked the recovery in settings and the option to go back is "greyed out" and no longer functional. Windows 11 Pro version 22H2. Can I go back using the system image from previous dates from today, May 7, 2024? [Go back] - "this option is no longer available on this PC". Is this because I'm running 22H2? Does "no longer available on this PC" mean that Microsoft is targeting me personally, or is this happening to everyone? It's obvious that they have eliminated for me, the option to rollback updates.
If you upgrade, you only have ten days to roll back. If you don't roll back by then, windows will automatically delete your previous install (Ie the windows.old folder) and the option will then be greyed out. The period can be extended but I don't know how. However, if it's already been deleted, and if you haven't made a manual back up, then sadly it's too late without a clean install.
@@davidfishwick5573 I've managed to delay any so-called upgrade for 365 days using gpedit with tips from britec09
Simple- it's no longer an OS to aid in worker productivity, it's an OS to aid in gathering PPI for Marketing re-sale.
I'm sticking with 10, and when that dies (it won't actually die, MS will find a way to kill it) I'm moving to Linux.
Is dual boot even a viable option for gaming on Windows without much Linux hassle?
I only noticed this started happening recently, Windows 10 is giving me pop-ups "recommending" me to use the Weather app, likely because I've had it turned off/disabled from the taskbar since I started using Win10. I wonder if they're trying to force users to use these built-in apps or get annoyed? And I cannot seem to find a way to disable the pop-up for some reason. All articles I'm finding only tells me how to disable the app itself.
I removed the weather app once Microsoft started putting ads in it.
Microsoft needs to STOP changing the User Interface! That's where most of my complaints come from. STOP changing settings that I set to something other than default when updates are installed. Bring back the Win10 right-click panel so that I don't have to click multiple times to get to the Refresh function after I copy-paste or move a file from one directory to another directory - since Windows 10 and 11 don't automatically refresh the target directory consistently. Make it EASY to undo Windows Defender's file quarantine/deletions when it makes a false positive identification. Etc., etc., etc...
How do I make 11 stop suggesting to connect to my work account on my personal computer?
It is all subjective I suppose. To some it is "not too bad" to others it is bloody awful, and no improvement over 10. It is 10 under the hood really with an emasculated GUI and menu system.
Please make a video for group policy edit preferences
Another problem is how slow it is. Half the time the Windows menu takes ages to load or search anything
It's quite obvious if Microsoft actually looked at their customer base. Customers want a basic traditional operating system like win10. Hence win11 has had such a low user base.
0:34 _but that doesn't make it necessarily a bad operating system_ um yes it is a terrible operating system, as you just mentioned you before this line you said there are a lot of ads and a lot of settings you have to turn off. This is NOT an ideal operating system, especially if you have paid for it. Windows 95 all the way to Windows 7 felt like a simple operating system, you didn't get pop ups (all though Windows 7 eventually did for migration to Windows 10), the previous operting systems didn't force you to do a lot of changes or force you into a microsoft account, it was just a simple operating system that allowed you to get your work done.
Windows 10 and onwards is just so bloated (yes its very bad on crappy hardware and even on virtualbox compared to Windows 7) and so much annoying popups. I remember once I was watching something and a popup came up to update your computer and I pressed escape and it forced an update within few minutes, closing all of my stuff. Continously I would get notifications to "sign in to microsoft" crap, or when you start your PC it will "remind you" to sign in with a microsoft account in full screen and they would have a tiny button that says "remind me in 3 days".
Also when you are installing either Windows 10 or 11, for privacy questions you can either select to send additional information or basic information to microsoft, is there an option to send 'NO DATA'? It goes to show you how little control you have over the operating system.
Windows 11 also has such obnoxious hardware requirements, you have to have tpm2 and other stuff otherwise your computer belongs in landfill after windows 10 goes away.
I have moved to EndeavourOS (arch linux) using xfce. It is so much better, it feels like Windows XP except with more modern look and feel. It is simple, it doesn't have popups and I can just use the damn thing without problems like Windows 10/11.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ovyes 100%
@ brian I disagree. Theres a huge difference between a game being optimized for 10 or 11 .. To this day theres problems with some not running on 11
I used the CTT debloater and for some reason my hdd won't stop spinning even when I wasn't using it. I reverted back using system restore and the laptop now behaves normally.
Is there a written document of what is safe to delete or turn off to debloat and de-telemetry-ize Win11?
Use windows x lite

PS1: Windows 11 is not bad, it's just horrible.
PS2: you've been using Windows 11 from the begonning? So you betray us!
11 fixed the blurry fonts issues partially so definite upgrade… 10 still must be collecting a lot of data.
I use Windows 11 Pro which is different from Windows 11 Home...Big Difference...I would never use Home OS...The functions are so different and cheezy in the Home version vs. Pro
Windows 11 is so bad, when you install it "Michael Jackson's - I'm Bad" song plays in the background...
Microsoft is listening "The way you make me feel" while reading your comment...
only i dont like lack of notification that if your fresh install win 11 23H2 it will encrypt the OS drive by default if you didnt notice or some normal people didnt know that the os drive is encrypted by default, then if there is something wrong on the os or dont want to boot and they want extract the data of that drive, it will be pain to recover if they dont know the decryption key
Windows 11 is at its core a good OS. Get rid of the bloat and the Microsoft login and its OK. I install Win 11 with Rufus with the spyware and bloat settings turned off.
I have zero interest in moving to Linux or Mac - but the dumbification and lockdown of settings & customization, and the treatment of users as advert vehicles makes me extremely cautious, suspicious and rebellious. Turning off updates is my best way to avoid Microsoft's increasingly unwanted lockdowns and as I haven't been infected with any bugs since Windows 7 and have excellent pc security in place updates simply aren't a necessity to my machine.

Microsoft edge removal - yeah i get that - I followed your removal video and it completely ruined my system - you should count yourself in the advisory section!
Chris Titus Tech app does it automatically, easy peasy, no problems whatsoever.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov I'm in the process of building a workstation and the idea of a dual boot system seems the way to go. What really gives me pause to think is the lack of support for several creative software packages, mainly ZBrush. From what I've gathered, Linux's handling of video and audio editing still leaves a lot to be desired. I hope I'm wrong, and Linux is the solution to my needs...somehow the excitement of building a new system gets over fast as soon as you start dealing with Microsoft's crappy spyware "OS".
It would be nice if it was good, instead of not bad.
“I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.”

What will happen if Adobe Photoshop would make a working Linux version. What effect would that have to Windows?
I "debloated" my Windows 10 well over a year ago, It never had any issues until it demanded an update in January, after which it would bsod until I did a restore point, I am never using Windows again after this rig, compatibility be damned.
Can the majority of everyday ordinary users be expected to learn Group Policy Edit? Is there a case to convince MS to make the default settings to "simple" and let the power users to enhance.
Its this simple, we have a choice to use Windows, Linux, Android or MacOS.
Sorry but I should not spend everyday keep changing windows settings because of another update I don't want,I buy my pc for what I want to use it for...
Same as you with Windows 11, I updated straight away through Insider and have never had a problem with it..
I seen Windows 11 and I find it better than Windows 10. The bad part is that you cannot resize the Start Menu and the Taskbar buttons. I find Windows 11 really good.
If i have to make all these adjustments just to stop the OS from violating my privacy, advertising to me or forcing microsoft's will on me in some way, I'm cool.
I went back to Windows 10 and would love to dig into Linux in the future
It's a matter of knowing your way around instead of complaining. Most people screw up on install don't let it just run read the fine print. I just put the bar on the left, install open shell for classic start menu, install Firefox, Google as home page, go to settings and turn on high performance
I have come to accept Windows 11 as it is except for 1 thing! No matter what settings you turn off Microsoft Edge is always running unless you go into taskmanager and end process. Launch Edge and browse and close it it stays running even if you turn off run in the background from settings. Is there a fix that it stops running in the background?
Delete it. Plenty of scripts online to debloat windows 10 and 11 around. I personally use CTT debloated and delete Edge and one drive and all Microsoft apps because i don't use it. CTT don't recommend to delete Edge but i did it anyway. No problem so far in few months.
@@PenX79 Firefox and 7Zip can replace Edge.
Chris Titus warns that uninstalling certain features like remove edge or one drive for instance will cause problems. He provides many how to safely use his windows deblote tool. like anything use at your own risk but used correctly it is a great tool
They call it Advertising ID, back in my day we called that crap Spyware. It’s a disgrace, honestly considering jumping over to Linux
No no no no no. You don't get to mentally separate the bad stuff and say it doesn't matter. It's part of the OS, therefore the OS is overall bad. For a product I purchased, I shouldn't have to go through trillion menus just to disable 1/3 of the spyware. Just, no.
womp womp
Do I take it Brian, you will no longer promote any scripts or tweak tools unless they come from MS?
Like I have said before in my videos. "I am a tutorial channel" I show people how to do things, it does NOT mean I am saying do it, which I also say. Example: if I bake a lemon cake, that don't mean I like it or eat it, just showing how to make a lemon cake.
The answer is obvious; switch to Linux. Microsoft's anti-consumer behavior, as expressed in Windows 11, is predicated on the belief that Windows is the "only game in town" where non-Apple computers are involved; but that simply isn't the case. Yes, there are some use-cases where Windows is the better option -- gaming, for example. So by all means, set up a small form factor PC with Windows and treat it like a gaming console. But for general usage, GNU+Linux is quickly becoming the obviously superior choice.
i agree w/ most of your observations here. However, the CTT winutil is absolutely amazing. Like anything, create a restore point.
I am still using Windows 10, the 2016 version. Does everything I need it to do, and its Defender version is not as nosy and intrusive as later versions. Eg. It (Defender) will 'report' some things that I download from The Pirate Bay😁, but does not just delete them without telling me, as later versions do!
Brian is right about Windows 7 being outdated. Many apps no longer work with it.
Windows 8.1 was great (and FAST, specially on laptops), even though it was 'hated' when new even more than Windows 11, but it is also outdated to the point that new versions of Firefox browser don't work with it.
Because our tech is much more complex since windows 7, people expect it to work out of the box... one has to match it with what they use it for .... if its just for Facebook and YT, windows10/11s is as plain as it gets... but if you use it for work, banking, taxes, accounting, streaming, IoT, etc one has to devote some time setting it up, making sure there is a backup...etc...It has good bones, just have to make it safely work for you... There are several YT videos that help one minimize ads and improve security....
Very interesting that you targeted Chris; The warning he gives is in relation to two setting (at the end of the settings is stated ''Not recommended'', to change), nice hit job...
Microsoft can develop 2 Os, one for work, pymes,enterprise without bloatware and 2nd for IA, the problem is mixing that "things" in one,thanks for your video.
I recently switched over and I have a stable and fast (relatively) computer. I, once again, am impressed with the upgrade process. I'm a little disappointed by their burying of settings that I am used to e.g. "Send to Desktop" under "More Options" etc... Overall, I am very pleased.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov No. I have no problem with Windows.
I just had d drive showing that 20gb was used and there was no data and was like 200gb of. Data showing on windows 10
Can you recommend an OS? I don't want to re-learn too much, and these are my priorities: GAMING performance. Stability. Security. Privacy. My machine is 95% for gaming, 4% for RUclips (and I hate that), and the last 1% is split evenly between image collecting and email. I am totally cool with having to hit the web to find what I need. I DON'T need VM support, printer support, scanner/tablet/pen drivers, and the GIGABYTES of crap that come with Windows. Windows 95 fit on a 710 MEGABYTE drive, and left room for a ton of other stuff. I just don't need most of what Redmond thinks I need.
THANKS.
@@joshuahernandez-th6ov My first thought was SteamOS, is that not a viable solution?
Just say on Windows 10 for now.
if gaming is the top priority, then Windows 10/11. If security and privacy is important, then linux with security and privacy focused browsers like Mullvad or Tor.
If both are important, then you can choose any of these platforms, but in windows you will need to debloat it for enhanced security and privacy, in linux you need to find a way to play your games. You may need to find the drivers for you graphic card, you may need to look for emulators/VM to run some games, if they don't have linux version
Which one is better and easier? depends on your previous experience and personal preference.
You may also consider installing both OSes and use dual boot or VM
Manuel: windows not bad. I fix.

The thing is, most of us don't want the established UI thrown out every few years, and for businesses it can be a training nightmare. It's something they do because it's hard to sell something that doesn't look different from what you have, the same reason cars are completely overhauled every few years.
All the stuffs you say could cause disable windows updater , YOU KNOW THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT
I don't want forced updated my system.
Use windows x lite
Some good points made here. Everyone's setup is different but lots of people are happy to run these scripts and click options before fully understanding what it's doing and the changes it's going to make. If their pc then messes up they are too quick to blame someone else. Telemetry and advertising aside for a second and Windows 11 is not actually a bad OS to use.
I've been on Windows 11 since it came out and it works well for me. I did a few small tweaks and I have never had an ad pop on the OS.
I am using 2 debloaters on win 11 and never had problem.
No matter what I'm gonna use windows 10. And if at one point Microsoft forces to upgrade I'll simply switch to linux or mac.
I use Wintoys from the store to tweak windows 11. Im not a fan of 11. Its not unusable but im not a fan other than file explorer tabs and dark mode in task manager. Theres nothing i do on 11 i cant do on 10 but might as well get use to it.
The default is "ads enabled" (in a system paid for)? Nuf sed.
Man, you think people use those debloaters and obsolete tweaking scripts because they want to or can? No, they do because Windows ARE "that bad".
My friend, alot of things now days are bad....from movies to TV to games to computers there is a major slump and separation in what the people want and what the corp will get off its lazy butt and do.
Use windows x lite
All the tools you mentioned are very good and save alot of time. Been using them for ages on 100 and more computers and have no problems at all!
And if you care what you run on your PC, why are you running Windows? :D
Just look at those janky, jittery, choppy, slughish animation and transitions BRITEC, just take a look for yourself, is that even could be tolerated?, a basic thing that should perform just better and smooth, but just take a look with all of your videos when your using your lovely Windows 11, is there any smooth transitions and animation on all those videos
I use Windows 11 (Home) and I like it a lot. I like edge browser too as it helps me create progressive web apps. Though my main browser is Firefox and Vivaldi. I can tweak Windows to disable widgets, move home button to left side etc. Windows has been very stable for me and works without giving any issues at all. The software I use work on Windows and it is my learning machine as a student, work machine, gaming machine and it works very well. It does so much more than any other operating system and for me has been free from all glitches and errors on my HP Omen 15 Gaming Laptop because I don't tamper with my Windows install, and don't do any bad things on my system and buy all my high quality software.
I've not had any problems myself with Windows 11 since I've upgraded from Windows 10
2 things
Should you run scripts, especially if outdated, create a factory restore point first.
Lastly, scripts and other solutions would not be considered necessary to begin with had it not been for microsoft wanting to spy on everything we do, not to mention cluster, and this goes for all major operating systems, too.
I gave windows 11 a chance on my new gaming laptop by activating a windows 11 pro,it worked all good n well for the first 6 months,then an update came which crashed my pc,and then prevented it from starting up,I looked up for days to find solutions and after nothing worked,I had to reset my pc,i then swore to never ever use this joke of an OS again and as of now I'm using windows 10 home edition
This a good video that gives credit where credit is due. It is also good for those wary about upgrading.
its great but microsoft keeps ruining it by not allowing us to make it OUR PC and require US to BUY NEW HARDWARE just to run their software that they keep ruining with every new build
i will be staying on windows 11 23h2 and forcing the update that forces ADS IN WINDOWS 11 to NEVER INSTALL
Or, just try using Linux. There's loads of videos at every proficiency level on YT (beginner -through- expert). Of course, this is not for most off the shelf laptops unless you wish to fiddle with laptop at boot level which may void your warranty.
That's why Microsoft does things like ads, etc. because a lot of people think like you (yeah there is ads and a settings to change but it's not that bad.) And yes you can change the settings but you failed to mention that after updates some of these settings are reset so you have to do it all over again its a pain.
Also, there are many bugs like file explorer buggy and slow, useless widget panel, microsoft is so busy including AI everywhere and putting ads they should focus more on bug fixing.
It was so funny I read the release notes for one of their release builds leave it to Microsoft to include in their release notes that they're adding ads oh sorry they call It recommended apps.
We need to push back and stop accepting all the crap they're pushing on us.
Britec has begun his Stockholm Syndrome period.
Yet, here you are on youtube with your data being collected, same as on your phone. All you people do is cry yet everything you use collects data. Get over it
@@craigtrish2011 Then there are a lot of people crying about it because many people are complaining about it and the slow adoption of windows 11 shows that people don't like it but hey what do I know right you know best.
If it requires the internet, then it's a no-go.
its consumes more battery doesn't gives more fps hangs alot
it steels time and sucks life from people who are forced to work with that crap..
Windows 11 isn't bad as a OS I agree, however is Microsoft's insistence of telemetry, ads etc... that make people want to use scripts and as a result damage in the install. Trying to find everything by hand can be more time consuming than a script or program like oosu. So it's both party's at fault in my opinion. If Microsoft didn't load the system up with so much crap, less people would probably be breaking their installs.
I'd prefer to pay for an OS then have a free one with ads. I think it boils a lot down to poor reception. People just don't see it being better than 10 in a significant way and all they hear is more stuff they don't like. The forcing of features, the bending over backwards to undo the changes they've made. I was all eager to upgrade but after all this time I still haven't upgraded and really don't want to. I might be forced at some point but only if I literally have to. The forced updates that break stuff or the infrequent annual updates....again a lot of what I'm saying my be out of date but first impressions and all that. If I prefer w10 over 11 I'm more inclined to avoid w11 and see if 12 is any better or if not at least jump a generation so I don't have to suffer twice.
If it is indeed possible to get w11 super close to w10, then I'd love to have a video that literally goes step by step and does a checklist. With so many videos and time having past, it's a messy business to search the internet to find what settings to change and how, assuming it's all up to date- I often find when I need to look up a procedure and find that what I see in the process isn't what I see because it's so old.
OS that requires a hack in order to be usable is just bad. Contrast that to Linux where you could build from the ground up to be whatever you want.
Windows has lost its simplicity it used to have
