Five more Microsoft apps nobody uses will have the uninstall option enabled soon.

I'd pay extra for a windows that has nothing except the settings, task manager and the file explorer.
Why not use Linux? It will have exactly what you want, nothing more, northing less, it's free and beautiful and easy to use. There are open source variants for just about any software that you want..
I don't get why people still out up with windows
"easy to use" LOL
The right Linux setup actually isn't that difficult. Relatively modern Linux is brain dead easy in comparison to how it used to be. I've been using computers since I was 8 in the 80's. Back then even before using DOS, computers were extremely difficult to use and had near vertical learning curves. Even the early version of Windows could be pain in the arse to get certain things done/figure out; it was the just the nature of computers at the time.
These days modern operating systems such as Windows have been refined to the point where practically anyone can use it and get around with little difficulty. That is great and all but that is part of the problem. The bar has been dropped so low that if any of the users get provided any form of unexpected technical adversity that was prevalent in computers just some decades back; they consider it impossible to use. The biggest issue is most computer users these days are completely intellectually lazy when it comes to using them and how they work. Never in history has the technology been so widely available and yet the lack of understanding by its users has reached drastic levels of proportion.
Its not that people aren't able to learn, they just don't even care to even try. And yet these same people will go out 5 minutes later and do something else just as technically involved such as rebuilding a combustion engine or rewiring an electrical circuit in a DC motor or a myriad of other things.
Yeah I do agree modern Linux is easier to use at least for basic task, but once something break or you need to install a software that requires a lot of dependencies or configurations that's another story, I'm still new to Linux and I can't remember how many times I accidentally break the entire OS and needed to reinstall again
Yeah I get it. It always sucks to have the OS break to a point of having to reinstall it. I've actually got a history years ago of breaking my DOS/Windows installs, though that is usually me screwing around with shit I don't understand and don't know how to repair the damage.
But that is all part of the learning experience I guess.
It has become super easy to use IMO. Latest Mint is anyways.
So much less crap, only the necessities.
That would have been a funny post about 20 years ago. A lot has changed.
I'd say that for most uses, Linux is easier than windows
Because he's not a nerd
Haha, I actually am and run Linux on my main machine and other machines in the house, I explained in my other post why I need windows.
Windows 11 N might be up your alley or one of the enterprise editins using group policy to disable at the unneeded shit but that's way to much work for most
Can you point me in the proper direction?
yeah, I've done my best to remove it all and have it in a pretty good spot at this point.
My windows install is from 2009 when windows 7 was released and hasn't been fresh installed since. Hardware has changed 5 times since then and it's still running like day one.
