Should clarify: I meant the IoT LTSC version of Windows. It gets support for much longer too, since it sounded like you reinstalled Windows anyway. Plus games and RAM heavy software work snappier on those cleaner, more minimal versions of Windows. It made a difference even on my 7.5k water cooled desktop. You’d think 128gb of DDR5 RAM, 7900x3D, 3090 computer wouldn’t have any slow down, but base Windows is REALLY bloated - enough that even at those specs you can notice a difference on a gen 5 m.2 ssd. I still use Windows for some modded games and a specific audio program. Oh, and CAD software.

Same with my girlfriend’s 2k gaming laptop. Startup and such is way faster now.

Plus no telemetry or ads as a bonus of course.

I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.

Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.

Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must’ve never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).

Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.

Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there’s not much AC in Finland for the summer…

The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.

Ah, superintendent Chalmers. Nice weather we’re having.

Ah, yeah, MSI Nvidia does have issues in general for some reason. At that point basically only Arch or similar that’s more advanced would fix the problem, and at that point it does make sense for most users to stick with Windows.

I’d recommend what others here say and get an iot version or using a Rufus install in those cases of Windows though, to avoid all the telemetry etc.

Mint and Ubuntu are Debian based.

Try something Fedora based. I’ve had far less issues with it when it comes to hardware.

What’s the difference between this and Framatube which has a similar logo and is an option on Newpipe?
