      …if there wouldn’t have been a dial-boot installation of Linux.

      Not the first time Microsoft has done this bullshit. For most people this shouldn’t be an issue.

      But a lot of the entry level PCs with smaller drives are going to suffer.

      Fortunately, it’s a bug that MS is currently fixing. 

      > Microsoft is preparing a patch to solve the problem, which should be rolled out as part of an upcoming update.

      If you’re super strapped for drive space, hold off on updating for now

      Microsoft – giving you everything you never requested or didn’t want but can’t get rid of. Except with Linux or Mac.

      These kind of update artifacts are why I started migrating my personal systems to Linux. There is an intersection where the pain of running Linux meets the mandatory bloat on Windows and I hit it a few updates ago.

      I mean, they probably only can’t be deleted from within a running Windows OS that has the fs currently mounted (some ntfs readonly lock bit just mistakenly left set or whatever).

      I mean, sure, I’d say “just use Linux” but even without *installing* Linux, Linux may be very useful i.e. boot one of the security/recovery Linux LiveUSBs that can manipulate/mount NTFS filesystems (cf. [dislocker](https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker/issues/307#issuecomment-1699899581) + ntfs-3g) and remove the cache.

      Remember to disable fast startup first https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G#Metadata_kept_in_Windows_cache,_refused_to_mount

      Or just wait for the next update.

      What an absolute bloated pile of shitware Windows has turned into.

      Tell me why exactly I need to sign in with an email account to use my fucking personal computer? Oh, it’s to make it easier to steal my data.

      No I don’t want to use fucking one drive so you can steal even more of my data.

      No, I don’t want you to auto restart at 2 am without my permission while my machine is running a long-running task.

      I couldn’t give a flying fuck which famous person has a Birthday today.

      If I wanted to know the weather, I would look out an actual window.

      Why does a simple messaging app require so much system resource?

      A clean install fixes this. The problem seems to be from a cumulative update preview release before the most recent patch Tuesday; clean installing doesn’t install the preview because the proper release is now available.

      I’m Still using windows 10. And keeps trying to get me to upgrade to 11. The “no” button is labeled as “hold off for now”… which feels like a threat lol

      Microsoft taking easily 30% of your pc is such an annoying thing.

    17. No-Marionberry-772 on

      Every day I become more sure that I will never “upgrade” to windows 11

      I guess its inevitable that I’ll be switching to Linux, eugh.

      Does anyone make a Linux flavor that’s basically windowsesque for people that want the familiarity without the Microsoft dystopian privacy nightmare? Looking for a jumping on point where the UI is very similar with less need to relearn the entire OS.

      I’m getting a new laptop very soon and I’m wondering if I should just go with Windows 10.

      I’ve been using Windows 11 since its launch and haven’t been very pleased with it

      Are there any significant downsides to going with Windows 10 over Windows 11?

      And is there a way to de-bloat Windows 10 (or Windows 11)?
