Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
Man windows sounds complicated. All these scripts and programs you’ve gotta hunt the web for, opening the command prompt or doing a load of registry edits to not see ads everywhere.
These days it’s easier to game on Linux than it is to debloat Windows
I’ve been a hardcore Linux gamer for 15+ years, but there’s some games that just don’t work on Linux, unfortunately. Sim racing was something I wanted to get into so I could get familiarity with some tracks before I actually go drive them, so putting up with windows long enough to launch the games is something I can deal with.
If M$ starts sending me ads mid game, then I might start looking for other solutions.
That’s absolutely untrue. The debloat tools have a GUI and presets where it’s basically a single click to run them.
I seriously tried gaming on Linux with like 5 different distros, and it was a struggle to get things running not completely awfully. Windows doesn’t have those issues.
It’s not really a hunt. Just Google “windows 11 debloat tool” and it’s in the top 3 results.

You find all kinds of crap when you search for things like that, you need to do your research on what’s trustworthy.
I see a lot of Windows users say “oh you can make windows not terrible, you just need to install this random modified Windows ISO that there’s no way of knowing if it contains malware”
It’s absolutely a hunt.
