You know, for a “security-based” operating system, Windows Security in W11 can easily break if you try to reset the app or reinstall it. Now I can’t even know if I have a virus because I can’t even access the GUI. Way to go, Microsoft, the biggest “feature” in your OS is broken.
Everything in Windows is half assed. Is possible to go around everything and is usually not very hard to do.
@@jorgemotta8290 yeah, but when you end up with an issue that literally nobody else is having and can’t find a google search or a good page for a solution. You’re pretty much goatsye’d til you reinstall windows or a miracle update happens.
@@capitalofTX I feel you. Reboot, reinstall are the quickest options with windows sometimes. 😂
Make a habit of backing up the entire OS drive everyweek.
Is it any surprise that Institutional Customers throw a sh!tfit every time an OS stops being supported, especially considering the typical state of Software rushed to meet a Launch Window?
What app?
I hope that EU will force Microsoft to enable this option normally. Not everyone has Internet everywhere, every time

Don't just disable all the settings in group policy without at least trying to read them first!
There's a trap there that you want to change to ENABLED instead. Specifically the "Disable OneSettings Download" option.
In the description it states: "If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Windows will periodically attempt to connect with the OneSettings service to download configuration settings."
There's little to no actual information about what this service is other than a Microsoft hosted service that they use to "keep your computer healthy", but my guess is that it allows Microsoft to reset your system settings periodically to whatever they think is best for your system. And by that I mean best for their data collection.
So disgusting and sneaky
Reminds me of when I had to use the registry to block microsoft from reverting the windows update settings.
All that work just to have me choose when I update my computer. Insane.
Thank you so much for this, I did exactly what you said, disabled them all without reading them! 🤦♂️
Also for "Limit Dump Collection", you need to ENABLE it. C'mon, Muta. This video was not researched well, my friend. U giving out false information.
Again with "Do not show feedback notifications" - If you enable this policy setting, users will no longer see feedback notifications through the Windows Feedback app.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users may see notifications through the Windows Feedback app asking users for feedback.
Note: If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can control how often they receive feedback questions.
At this point, I'm convinced de-bloating windows is more of a chore than it was setting up Ubuntu on my Surface Pro 4 and getting the touch/pen setup working.
The month I learned how to make a custom iso of windows minus the trash... Was the month I went full convert into Linux. Because I realized... Every time it updates? It will UNDO what ive done anyways and ill have to do this or that to get it clean again. None of my pcs run windows now. It's been relieving and felt more like lost weight then lost memories. I know windows is all uP tO daTe with the latest software or whatever but as a normy user with some MINOR technical prowess. I've sacrificed nothing and see nothing but possibilities and options to either have equivalent or comprable software or better in my opinion.
rebuilding a Pyramid of Egypt to scale on your own is likely less of a chore...

@@drt1605 no pain. No gain Dr. T. Glad to see you made it through.
To answer your question about Ubunut. Ubuntu had some issues recently in past years; experimentation with different software and applications. It's a newer group of users compared to like the arch community and thus it's not as defined and sophisticated. Ubuntu will most LIKELY come back around. I think it currently is doing so. However I just never saw a need to check it out. I'd mess switch Debian, Endeavor, or Gentoo in time or learn them for my own sake. But I've never had an urge to install Ubuntu. Like any distro if you learn how to use it fluidly. You probably will be fine. I personally like the benefits of the AUR, the arch wiki, etc. Even non-arch users admit the benefits and information in the arch wiki is quite useful.
@@drt1605 basically on the desktop side canonical has had some shitty practices in recent years and they’re forcing the use of snap packages which are worse in every aspect compared to deb, flatpak or app images. If op reads this, mint will pretty much be the same as ubuntu without all the crud
The biggest thing I hate about technology moving forward is a deep obsession with spying on people. I know there's targeting advertising and so on, but they're well beyond that to the point that it's just a fetish
Look at Valorant for example pretending to care about abusive speech by listening to your chats real-time
The tencent chinese bozos are trying to profit on their investments with these nasty spyware attempts. Gotta be mentioned that this isn't valorant's first rodeo when it comes to lack of privacy..
Nigga wut? Are you telling me Valorant is listening to your mic in real-time? Even if you mute yourself?
@@rihasanatrofolo2472 yeah, just like their intrusive anti cheat and other stuff I probably don't know about. Been wanting to get into Val, but this's making me wanna uninstall
I’d guess if you mute in game they can still hear you. But if you mute in hardware, if your headset has a mute switch that physically disconnect your mic then your good.
@@JohnDoe-vc5qb if you mute in game probably although we can’t confirm that, if your headset has a physical switch that disconnects your mic then you’re good

14:53 There are 3 that won't switch to "disable"
1) Configure diagnostic data opt-in change notifications
2) Configure diagnostic data opt-in settings user interface
3) Limit optional diagnostic data for Desktop Analysis
I click disable then apply but it still says Not configured
Those bastards.
They knew!
same happens to me
Lol the options are non options... Look at three "LIMIT *optional* diagnostic data"
How about remove it all, why 'limit' and why have an option only for optional diagnostic data
14:39 Apparently people have been saying there was a trap in the settings you had to disable here, so I read through all of them and, if I'm not mistaken, *there are multiple traps here - do not disable all of them!*
Enable these settings:
- *Disable OneSettings Downloads* (Enabling --> Prevents Windows from connecting with the OneSettings Service)
- *Limit Diagnostic Log Collection* (Enabling --> diagnostic logs will not be collected)
- *Limit Dump Collection* (Enabling --> Windows Error Reporting only sends kernel mini dumbs and user mode triage dumps)
- *Do Not Show Feedback...* (Enabling --> no feedback notifications)
I am unsure about:
- *Configure Authenticated Proxy...* (Enabling --> blocks Connected User Experience and Telemetry Service from automatically using an authenticated proxy - should I do this?)
- *Configure diagnostic data opt-in change notifications* (Disabling --> hides data opt-in change notifications - would I want these notifications gone?)
- *Configure diagnostic data opt-in settings user interface* (Disabling --> disables diagnostic data settings in the Settings app - is this needed?)
- *Allow Diagnostic Data* (Enabling + Setting the additional setting to "Diagnostic Data off" --> no diagnostic data is sent from the device on Enterprise, Education and Server editions only, according to Microsoft's comments - does this work for Home as well?)
If I got something wrong, please tell me

I watched a Snowden interview about phones that can't take out the battery anymore, and the interviewer asked "well i just turn my phone off" to which Snowden replies: "How do you know that it's turned off?" Same here, you turn off all the "privacy settings", but in reality how do you know that they're off? 😂
In reality we just have to accept the overlords. Apple, Google and Microsoft own the (western) world, and the data in it. There's no telling whether these few people that cut these ties with Microsoft won't have their data absorbed into these three entities through other means.
And yea, that's just "if" they even turn off those options and don't just have it on in the background, they could just claim it is a glitch if it's discovered.
You fugggin can't dude. You can get rid of some shit... Like android webview... Does nothing as far as I can tell... I uninstalled carrier services... But still have sevice with my carrier. All the preinstalled stuff you have to root the phone to get access too or flash a custom OS. (See custom OSs' on phones) you could go pinephone? I hear that's a work in progress though. Which is pretty fugged up... Because all those google apps? It's just like microsoft... Shit hogs your cpu power/batterylife/data. Etc. You can minimize... But on an older phone likw mine it's a pain in the ass or near impossible to take true control... The search and research is still worth it though... May not be able to act this moment but this all impacts my future purchases and decisions.
@@mathisblair2798 got a pixel 3a for CalyxOS, it was pretty straight forward and stable too. might not rid it of hardware bugging from chipset manufacturers but at least on the software front it's entirely Google free. don't know if using an MVNO to access a standard carrier is beneficial to privacy, but it can't hurt, been using Ting for years so im used to BYOD

I'm still glad that I haven't upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10. Most of the new "features" dont appeal to me. I run Linux on my laptop and Windows on my desktop for gaming.
If your use your windows purely for gaming just get ggos
It's too late for me unfortunately. I upgraded instantly because I didn't see the problems until months later. Because it's a laptop I'm pretty sure I won't be able to go back to windows 10
@@MakerManX it's possible, since you're on a laptop your windows key should be embedded into the UEFI. Just back up your files, then get a flash drive and a windows 10 iso from microsoft's website. Flash it to a USB with balena etcher, and then boot from it to begin the installation process.

Most of us have been using pirated versions from day one. I know it is bad from a security point of view (won't talk about moral one lol) but it is what it is.
I’m already dead set on switching to Linux before Windows 10 EOL. Windows and personal computing in general peaked in the XP era and has gone downhill since, but now Windows is becoming primarily focused on advertising to you and collecting data. Not to mention any remotely advanced settings are annoying to get to now in Windows 10. The GUI is just disjointed with all of the normie interface and options and then the real control panel, msconfig, device manager, etc hidden behind it and still from the year 2000. Linux isn’t as hard to use and learn as it was 20 years ago or more when information and guides weren’t so readily available and distros are fairly user friendly.
Doooo it! My advice is maybe practice with a laptop/pc you don't care so much about? Makes a nice practice dummy for ya. I switched over bout 5 months ago. NO REGRETS. And I say this knowing that I've struggled here and there learning it. Knowing there were some headaches. But that was actually fun. Linux has made computing new for me all over again. I love it.
I recommend arch linux btw...
If you can't manual install, judt connect the internet and type "archinstall"XD auto set up guide/script
my fellow commentators have suggested fedora and arch which are spectacular options (i use arch btw) but for most people I would recommend linux mint due to its ui/ux being similar to windows by default, almost everything being able to be configured via a GUI, its general ease of use/install, and more. but in the end, you probably won't read this anyway and the choice is up to you.
linux is going through a golden age rn in my opinion. the disaster of windows 11 plus the huge developments in linux gaming have drastically increased its popularity and usability. i had reservations before installing it earlier this year but then i did it and i was so surprised at how usable it was. 80% of my non vr steam games work. i only use my windows dual boot for vr the occasional game that doesnt work
I switched to Fedora 36 last month after using windows for 18 years. And I don't miss windows that much Linux has improved a lot. Initial setup will take some effort to customize the UI to your liking/habits.
Windows gets booted only for video games... 🎮
Yeah. I'm definitely jumping ship to Linux after I'm done with Windows 10
I'm not too happy with Windows 11. I reverted back to 10. There were a lot things that just wouldn't work when I "upgraded" it. I use the snipping tool a lot. Not with Windows 11!!! So, I'll just stick with 10.
@unfaithfulevil 🅥 wow racism
Hitting Shift + Windows Key + S doesn't work for you?
Alot of major things in the settings don't work for me for some reason like I can't access device manager. It definitely has big problems when my pc eventually has a serious issue I'll probably go back to windows 10. 11 says I don't have access to many important settings. Which is dumb.
@unfaithfulevil 🅥 1. Not cool.
2. This is Muta's channel. It has all of Muta's fans, me being one of them.
3. If you're trying to grow your channel, this ain't the way, chief.
4. Learn from your parents mistakes, and don't have children.
10 is awful too to be fair. w7 is far better.
Oh yeesh, yeah I actually don’t like Windows 11 now because to me, Windows 11 is full on glorified eye-candy with privacy invasions that I just felt like it was made within 6-8 months.
@unfaithfulevil 🅥 nice opinion. unfortunately, your mother.
@unfaithfulevil 🅥 No you don't
@unfaithfulevil 🅥 Your money centers are probably powered by indians too, you shouldn't crap on them if they provide your money.
I can totally agree to what muta says for rural areas, 25 mbs down, 10 up and 120$ a month, and we only have a single option.
What you have to watch out for is when you turn all that stuff off in settings and registry keys when there is a update for the OS it can snekly turn them back on without you knowing so you have to check every few months to make sure they are still off as they will turn them back on.
I visited my mom and saw her laptop was upgraded to windows 11, and she hadn't even turned it on for like 4 months. It took 30 minutes just to get to the login screen and another 25 minutes to get to the desktop. If I wasn't the one to load it up and reinstall windows 10 (she lost all her files because it didn't let her keep it after forcing an update she didnt authorize) she would have probably bought a new laptop. Insane to me microsoft is this trash of a company now days.
obviously better than apple, but theyre trying to also make people “pay” for updated windows versions. like excuse me, i paid for your damn program when i bought the pc. updates should always be free.
>taking an hour to get to the desktop

It's BEEN TRASH. But you had no prior cause to look deep at it, so I dont blame you. Linux for the win.
@@Code7Unltd Bruh, even Apple doesn't care about that either
I’m actually glad this is the route Microsoft is choosing to go. It will make Linux even more appealing. And with all the work Valve is putting into Linux gaming, it’s only a matter of time before I can forget Winblows ever existed
Yea that'll never happen
Not many people care about privacy if that was the case Facebook would have gone bankrupt but it didn't.
People would just make a Microsoft account instead of switching to another OS
Linux will totally benefit from natural organic growth over time. And if people like jumping on daddy Gates Lap. Then let em.

The first time finding a guide on installing Wine on my Zorin OS (Linux/Ubuntu base) through terminal, I felt great after successfully doing so. I feel someone needs to build a guide for people like me who is used to Windows and Mac computers. There needs to be this mindset "I want to teach people," instead "They should figure shit out." I didn't figure out how, I just read an guide to do the best way to install Wine on Zorin through the terminal. Also, someone needs to build a great app installer and a super simple desktop environment for less technical people that still use windows.
I will keep learning how to use the terminal without screwing it up, and keep using Zorin OS.

Hey Muta, I just wanna let you know that I just dial-booted Fedora 36 on my main gaming rig. I’m already somewhat experienced with Linux so it’s not super painful but I’m excited to finally start distancing myself from Microsoft on my main PC. Seeing you use Linux full-time on your main rig inspired me to try it as well.
I have 11 on my laptop & I’m happy to ride out 10 until EoL on my desktop, then Linux full-time.
I lived probably at the edge of Alaska, in Dutch Harbor. Internet is basically $30 for 5GBs of Data here and I just bought a Windows 11 laptop for light gaming and editing. Debloating it is probably a way to go to reduce data usage for internet because of the updates. Even turning-off Delivery optimization and enabling data saver will make Windows never going to update unless it's third party apps are.
Not to mention Microsoft is trying to censor the Java Edition of Minecraft now. While there were problems with private servers getting destroyed, the moderation extends so far beyond that to the point where you can get banned from multiplayer altogether for forgetting to turn off cap lock (granted its not fully implemented yet). People were moderating their own servers just fine, and you specifically have to look for the servers that can get nasty. Java Edition was an open platform with a rich history that only could have happened on an open platform (look up 2 builders 2 tools), at least they havent restricted modding so this can still be somewhat circumvented, but this is still a colossal blow to millions of players.
At least it’ll run on Linux (for now at least unless Micro$oft gets any funny ideas) I play Java Edition on Mint on an old Dell laptop.
How does that help? You're still going to be reported

i really hope that Valve gets high traffic with the Steam Deck for Linux gaming.
Valve have done insanely good job with Proton and i really wish that Valve develop Proton to be able to run ANYTHING windows, and not only games that are mostly singleplayer (Proton has a problem working with games that rely on Anti-Cheat software).
i have already moved away on my main laptop to a MacBook 3 years ago, now i wish that i could move my gaming PC to a Linux distro once Proton and Windows software compatibility covers 100% (or even just 99%) of all windows software for Linux.
i am fucking tired of having to re-disable every single telemetry and spying crap that microsoft pushes into windows every time that windows installs an update...
It sounds like they "got ya" you're stuck because can't give up "muh games" even though you admit that theres a ton of games that can be played. Imagine what happens if more people STOP playing these games. Right now; you give them incentive to keep it non compatible. Just food for thought.
I was on the exact same spot as you but i said to myself, you know what, fuck it
I have moved to linux, i dont play any EAC games, and the only game that i played and dosent work anymore is valorant.
But full disclamer i did not have a fun start. Pipewire (basically the audio driver for linux) was setting my second monitor as the primary output every restrat (and i keep my second monitor off most times so basically i had no audio output), so i had to learn how to edit .config files in my system and combined around 3 guides and forum help threads to make myself my specific autostart code, and now only like after 3 or 4 restarts my audio defaults back to my second lonitor.
After that, my microphone outputed only white noise so i had to install a terminal based app to enable my microphone or smt and now it sounded ok but never like in windows.
After that i had to install my games wich was the EASYEST part of it all. After that i noticed that my pc crashed when it was under heavy load (this was about 2 months into my linux journey) and i was really about to say fuck it all and go back to windows, but i remembered that everyone said that i should make some swap, and i didnt because i was dumb, so after 2 minutes of reading the archwiki i made myself 8 gigs of swap, and now my pc is just like, or even better than it was in windows.
If you really want the linux market to grow so you dont have to run windows, you have to be the change, dont wait for someone else to do it. And if you run into problems, google them for all of your neigbhouring branches, i use arch now, but even in manjaro i used the archwiki and forums many times.
Remember, when you were a child you had to learn all the windows quirks, dont expect those quirks to be the same, they will be different but you will learn them if you really want to change something.
Edit: spelling (i typed this on a phone)
I will be switching to Linux on my next upgrade because of this windows is getting annoying. Really wish games didn’t have cernal level anti-cheat and require windows
@@chizec7588 yeah, another downside of the 'linux coomunity' is that they love switching 'just werks' software for stuff that's newer and is more of a pain to work with. everything would've been great if we just stuck with open sound systems' audio software but NOOO let's use buggy ass alsa and add a ton of software like pipewire or pulseaudio, that might as well be crippleware, on top of it so we can give linux users the feeling of still being on windows
linux is going to be the next windows, mark my got damn words, especially with linus crippling the kernel, making it more vulnerable, to make it more easier for 'muh windoes geames' to work on it.

Everyone out here complaining about not having internet but deep down we all know that we don't want Microsoft to spy on us even more
It honestly for me isn't even about spying or not having internet it's about having the freedom to be offline. Xbox doesn't let me be offline either and since all I use my PC or Xbox for is gaming, single player gaming, I don't really need constant updates or tethering my games to the internet in a thinly veiled attempt at DRM, that's why I hate Steam, I already paid for the game I shouldn't need Darth GabeN's permission to play what I paid for.

Windows is that gunk I don't look towards unless some stupid entrance exam has it as a requirement. "Safe exam browser" and stains like that are reserved for windows.
I was pretty chilled out until I read "safe exam browser" and got hightened blood pressure. Thanks.
Really wish this video existed back when I bought my new computer that came with windows 11. Lost all my personal photos because of Microsofts need to have everything be cloud based. Will be doing this as soon as I get home

Two videos in one day? Ooohhhh booyyysss we're lucky today 🤩🥳
Since the early 2000s, my parents house only had access to dial up until around 2010. After that we had ~5mbps until 2 years ago. Their neighbors have had good broadband or cable and now Google fiber but companies don't want to extend the line the quarter mile to their house.
The problem with these solutions is they're way over the head of your typical ham & egg PC user. And us power users have probably already been doing most of this since 2015. I do have an MS account I use for Xbox and Game Pass. But I have been trying to daily drive Linux of my Desktop. Got to say, I'm kinda liking Pop_OS. I'm hoping the popularity of the Steam Deck gets more publishers on board the penguin train.

Dealing with linux is a pain in the ass, but dealing with windows 11 is far more of a pain in the ass.
With everything Microsoft does I get progressively happier with my switch to Linux five years ago.
I salute you Senpai.
I don't think Microsoft will ever make Windows free. While I agree that they probably don't make much in consumer sales, they are most likely making big money licensing windows to 3rd party manufacturers, with laptop licensing alone is probably netting them a couple hundred million, if not billions of dollars a year.
But as someone who has had that stupid watermark in the corner of their screen for the last 3 years, I can only pray that Microsoft makes Windows free.
I'd really like to change my wallpaper.
Look on youtube for A2MTech and look for his video titled "How To Activate Windows 10 Using CMD | Remove Activate Windows Go To Settings To Activate Windows 10" and follow his directions. Very easy and worked with no problems for me when I tested...Also works for Windows 11 I believe.
@@jeffbaker4219 just right click on an image in the file browser and set it as a desktop bg

@@Well-Rounded_Wildcard I'm not sure if that works if not activated...I've never tried on a machine that was not activated. But if you have tried and it works then that is definitely a lot easier. But you will still have the activation watermark.
@@mathisblair2798 Roger that...I just started playing around with Linux and I gotta say I'm really liking it.
As someone who has used windows for years. Unless they make it free, I’m not even considering 11. Even if it’s free That TPM check is gonna kill it. I don’t care how hard it’s gonna be. Linux is the future and that’s Microsoft’s own doing.
It is free but i agree on the TPM check
A few months ago I tried upgrading to Windows 11 on a laptop tunning 10 out of curiosity. Lasted a day.
I don't even hate 10 as much as some people - I tolerate it but I don't LIKE it. But 11 is absolute garbage. The UI is garbage. Figuring out where to change settings is sifting through garbage. Security-wise, 10 was garbage but 11 is the whole garbage dump.

I’ll attest, I lived out in the boonies for a few years between 2012-2015 and we had 0 internet provider. This is still a huge issue for a lot of my family members who STILL have 0 access to the internet at home.
3 Decades of Windows and people still haven't learned their lesson about using the "latest" one.
The tipping point for me is when I tried to uninstall Microsoft office it ended up bricking my pc to the point of having to put a new ssd in it to reinstall an os.
Edit: It didn’t completely brick it as it was “usable” But runtime errors started happening, random shutdowns, failing to exit sleep state. Plus the ssd failed smart test and ended up dying prematurely.
uh how? It's just a program, it didn't rewrite MBR or bios. ( if it didn't ask for administrator )
@@linuxization4205 yeah highly super unlikely that ever happened
Sounds to me like the ssd just died of natural causes.
@@vladimir_k_bestplayerna1217 Yup, there is no way Office would have done that. Most likely your SSD started dying and losing data.
Honestly I just gotta thank you so much for making this type of video. I'm basically completely inept when it comes to knowing what to do with my computer to keep myself safe, so seeing you go through it step by step and explaining what you were doing was super helpful. I just followed along with what you were doing and now I think I'm running much more secure than I was before! You won't believe how hard it can be to find a video this straightforward and helpful to people as dumb as I am.
You can be rest assured that Muta and Jay are on the paranoid end of the spectrum (or it's easy content, I don't mind). Nothing you do will ever get you secure. All the companies have you profiled via cloud services, online behaviour and pattern, video/shopping preferences, interactions etc... so tiny defences like this one have no impact.
Denshivideo is a good place to learn some linux tasks ans interesting tidbits. Mental Outlaw is always talking about cyber security and computer science.
You may have to look through and sort through them to find them but there are channels for these kind of things. And id not on youtube, internet is out there to resesrch to your heart's content.
@@jcon2060 Your argument isn't bright at all, a company having your IP and a marketing portfolio for you does not excuse another one taking a step further and demanding access to literally everything in your computer, so why discourage any attempts of securing your data? That's a borderline Stockholm Syndrome mindset right there.
Ugh, what a hassle. I was going to run a windows VM in my new system, but I think I will just stick to Linux. It has been working great for me for years. I dual boot, but don't really go into windows unless I have to, but with a GPU that actually supports vulkan I will just wager that I won't need windows and just take my lumps...

You can also use Ventoy, so that you no longer have to reformat the flash drive if you want to change the installer, and it allows you to store multiple isos on it and select which one you'd like to boot.
@@onegabriel5823 good man! I need to mention Ventoy more. It's fantastic! However... Unless its changed I couldnt boot wibdows with it. Any ither OS sure no problem. But yeah... I don't use Windows anyways. Just saying.
The only reason I don't use Linux on my daily driver is because I have too many programs that are unsupported. I am also staying on Windows 10 until it is no longer supported, but maybe by that time devs will realize that porting programs to Linux may actually be worth it.
Have you considered running these programs through Wine? 🍷
@@mathisblair2798 I have and they are either very slow or just do not work.
Installing linux mint is easier than going through the trouble of disabling all that shit from windows
^^^^^*THANK YOU*^^^^^^^
only issues ive had with linux GUI installers is they would completely fail to partition a hard drive i had unless i manually did it with fdisk or cfdisk
I dont know about 11, but on 10 you can just remove the watermark with a few commands and some clicks here and there. You can even use all the features, like changing wallpaper, etc.

Do you have a link or know the commands? Or where one would look?

I love the phrase my penguin loving bottom now. What the heck does that even mean? Lol.
It's a reference to the Linux mascot - a penguin. Basically just saying he loves Linux so much he'll allow it the "top" position in the relationship
Muda, I love you man. But I spent 20 years on a Linux desktop, and I am so far past done, that it's not even funny. I just got to a point where I was suffering to virtualize everything I needed to do, and continuing to stay on Linux didn't make sense. It happens. Started with Mandrake and Redhat 4, left when Ubuntu forced the issue of a Gnome upgrade. That said, these windows tricks are great. Wasn't even aware of some of it. Thanks again!
Did you ever try other distros? Ive never used fedora, ubuntu, or gnome so.... I can't relate to any issues. Can you define some specific scenarios where you had to virtualize something? Or that the software you needed wasn't available?
@@mathisblair2798 I did. I think the outlook for compatibility with Linux is better now than it's ever been. It's a lot better since I left. But keep in mind that the initial promise was that Joe Sixpack would show up, and that all these commercial vendors who make software we use every day would eventually start porting their stuff. This never actually happened. Even now, you would be in the lurch if you depended on commercial software to do the things you do. Even macs are better in terms of support. And I have one of those too. Helps me scratch that Unix itch. It's just not my main desktop
I would understand this and the need for all the data harvesting if Windows 11 was free with an optional paid version without any of it.
With surveillance capitalism you can be a product with or without paying.
This might be a little controversial but I am a windows user (haha! What a surprise) and not really too savvy when it comes to software, I just need something that works, the day in which windows makes me feel as if I live in north Korea, day I jump into Linux.
Linux isn't that hard. Does not require more than common sense and some lighty study to achieve what you do on windows. To start out anyways. As mastery of any OS takes time.
Also... Isn't needing a microsoft ID kind of like needing a passport?...
Fucking hate this stuff. It's like having the gas pump stuck to your car of the people who made the car. You never know how much it consumes but you know it must stay connected for your car to run. Like they don't even care you had to work for the money to even buy the damn thing. Talking about ownership. What about object ownership of files? Some you can't even change ownership even if you're the owner of the damn pc. So much bs built into something you had to pay for.
Super video Mutahar👍🏼
What a flattering thumbnail portrait. Jay must be proud.
Microsoft is becoming the best advertisement for linux.
Jayz and Muta collab?!?! What a moment to celebrate!
This is not a collab though, just a comment on his video with expanded content.
The problem with this process is that if you're willing to hack around with the registry and do all this while you manually install Win11, you have the right mentality for just switching to Linux. I've been daily driving desktop linux for 10 years, and while some things are a bit trickier, some things are conversely easier, and the most important thing that dictates if you'll enjoy Linux and be able to use it just fine is whether or not you're willing to (re-)learn new things and tinker a little bit, you don't need to be a neckbeard or uber-programmer or whatever other insulting stereotypes come to mind. If you're going through this process to "fix" Win11 (big risk that MS will come along and patch or force-install something that undoes all your hard work), and you don't have a critical reason why you can't just switch to Linux, then just go make the switch.
*Disabling telemetry in OSes procedure comparison*
Windows: F**k through all the settings and all the little applets, and maybe download some stuff.
MacOS: F**k about in the terminal with no single idea about what you're doing
Linux: shit i don't even have to do anything, it wasn't even there in the first place
Correction:
Linux User:
nothing is downloaded without my permission. What I download is easy to find and remove.
If my OS isn't snappy enough... Maybe I'll just learn how to custonize my own kernel... If all else fails I have a large community to fall back on for expertise. (Love you arch peoples)
Also Linux user: Yeah, it took me like two days to fix what was wrong that one time.... But I innovated/ adapted/ and survived like a gawdamn sudo user would
Most popular Linux distros contain some form of built-in telemetry, but it’s opt-in. Same with macOS from what I can tell.
4:10 Hey Muda, check out Dave’s garages video on Windows activation, he was one of the original authors for it! (YT: Dave’s Garage)
I’m glad that I illegally installed W10 and never plan on upgrading. They took W7 from me, I won’t go further
"The line must be drawn HERE! No further!"
Same dawg. Same
I would like to add, go find "fast startup" and disable it, windows tries to make your system faster by putting everything form your ram on one of your drives, meaning when you shut down your pc your ram is never cleared, this can create alot of goofing if you cut the power on the wall, as the system is only in hibernation and not actually off. the only way to clear your ram is to restart or disable it.
Muta : Free VPN bad. Popular VPN bad
Also Muta : Thank you for the sponsorship expressvpn
I don't understand it either it's so hypocritical of him bashing on vpns and some videos later hey guys just use this awesome VPN cause they payed me I understand the business side but seeling a product that you previously said to never use it it's pretty shaddy to say the least

I think that Windows needs a very strong competitor. A similar operating system that is more user friendly and easier to use than Windows. An operating system that isn't Windows, but that anyone can use.
LinuxMint. Go wild friend. Comes with basic set up just like windows.

I wish i knew 1/4 of what muta knows about computers... Seriously. Ive never had a computer ....ever.......love ya muta
Every day I become more and more glad I switched to Linux.
Tbh what they should've done is put on 3 ways, Option 1. pay once for full which allows everything local and no gathering privacy information. 2. Subscription based then i'd say yes online account activation but still no gathering information and 3. Free, and there do the add stuff on. I'd accept this more than what they doing now. Forcing the full license away and make it sub only and forcing their telemetry and always on DRM onto you.
If you use Enterprise you can always chose a local account then join it to your domain and in group policy you can disable all the privacy offending options and diagnostic data can be set to full off.
I did my Group policy years ago and I just check and update it as needed, automatically killing all of MS bull is so much fun.
GOD DAMN MUTA DID YOU GET THAT GOOD SPONSOR OR WHAT
IM SITTIN HERE LIKE "DAMN THE INTRO SO LONG IT BOUT TO EXCEED AN AUSTRALIANS DATA CAP"
I took the leap and finally installed linux. Windows just to play online with friends on dual boot, but I wish I could get rid of it in the future. I hate everything they're pushing with W11. Every single security feature has the potential to brick your PC or data if you don't pay for infinite onedrive space and back all your files up, which seems to be their goal.
@@NRGLVL0 Nice! Manjaro gave me weird boot related issues (UEFI went "wtf do I do" when I booted, more or less) a couple times when it upgraded kernels that took me a day or two each to figure out. Granted, I have a weird use case, since I'm trying to use it for gaming, as a HTPC, AND to self host sites/services.
If you went to recommend Linux to beginners (as I have done many times) you might want to recommend Kubuntu or something similar. That's not exactly what you were doing here, but figured I'd give you the heads up that complete newbs may struggle with it.
Not shilling any distro though, and I'm glad you found a distro that works for you! I love the community. I've been using various distros on my desktops for 15 years (since I was 10), and WSL to code on my laptop (gotta be Windows for college).
Once Microsoft decides to kill off Windows 10, I'll be swapping fully over to Linux. I don't like Windows 11 and I don't like the things they have done with it.
Godspeed soldier.
Likewise
Same here.
I really love the scripts made by Chris Titus, a fellow tech RUclipsr. Just run his script through Terminal and it bring up a fairly simple GUI to disable all Microsoft services.
Not trusting this lmao
I used to use 3rd party tools scripts and programs to delete and disable the most telemetry possible
But this, this was a great tutorial
Windows ghost spectre iso is what i used to use.
Hope you're doing well Muta :)
@unfaithfulevil 🅥 from this comment you seem to be much worse.
Looks so involved to install Windows securely, that it wouldn’t be much harder or easier to just use Linux instead.
* belly laughs in video drivers *
Agreed. Been gaming on Arch and living a chill life without windows for some time now.
@@pootispiker2866 video drivers being difficult to install are just a meme; all it takes is basic reading comprehension and a bit of attention: pick the driver that sounds best for you, If you're a gamer or editor and using Nvidia, then it's the closed source nvidia driver (literally named nvidia), it installs with a single command or press of a button depending on the distro, even on Arch the driver will configure itself as soon as you install it and things like NVENC will work straight away, and now every once in a while when you install a program that requires the GPU, you click the version made for that driver if it didn't automatically detect it, so all the effort is put on remembering the name of the driver you're using. Apparently that's just too hard for your average consumer to do to keep all those memes alive.
'Windows is anal about case sensitivity"

Living in the Caribbean and usually internet speeds are very low or sometimes non existent in some countries.
Microsoft would be foolish to interfere with people going to the especial effort to turn off their telemetry spyware. As long as they're only mildly annoyed, they'll keep using Windows, but once they make it too onerous to bend it to their will, those power users will go straight to Linux.

You should've used the CTT toolbox/script to debloat windows or at least showed it in the video as it has a very high reputation among all the scripts
I never done anything big with Linux before, I had run Linux because of school and tried it. But what I recently did, was completely without help, just installing Arch kernel and then adding everything I wanted. With the step by step documentation on their wiki, it was as easy as eating ice cream.
