I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

Install. Linux.

Yes.

Yes, install Linux, yes, it's better, yes, it's a little different, but yes, you will like it better.

Bloat ware? Gone. Antivirus shit? Gone. Spyware? Gone. Reboots for bullshit reasons? Gone. Forced updates? Gone.

Yeah, but it's so complicated and games don't work because there are no drivers!

Bullshit. Drivers exist now for just a out everything and most drivers are put of the box, not like windows requiring installs. Most of not all games now work.

But I needy software X!

Many, not all, but MANY software packages out there have open source equivalents that many times are equal or better than what you're using. If not that, Wine will allow you to run a huge amount of windows software transparently on Linux. YMMV of course but "I need software x!" barely has been an excuse anymore for using windows.

Did I mention it's actually free, no piracy involved (though if that is your thing, lots of software available for that too)

Windows sucks. Microsoft software in general sucks. Microsoft platforms suck (looking at you there, outlook, teams, office, and SharePoint, oh my frigging god what pieces of shit you are)

My 3080 mobile didn't work with anything but arch.

I love Linux but even I get fed up with it a lot. I do think that 90% of games work now though.

Everything driver related except my graphics cards have been great.

Just saying though, Linux isn't a drag and drop replacement, but it's still good

interesting. I wonder whether that's specific to the mobile hardware. I have a 3080 running just fine on Mint.

It was specifically a problem with the razer blade I had. I can't remember the exact issue but Arch had the fix in their kernel or something and ubuntu didn't

I think it was specifically an issue with hybrid graphics with an amd cpu
