Hey y’all
I’m taking a college course which is hell bent that its students use Windows 11. Currently my laptop is still using Windows 10 and if there is no bloatware/AI free way to install Windows 11, I’m just going to bite the bullet and install it the regular way. So if anyone knows of a relatively bloatware free way of installing Windows 11, please let me know.
p.s. For those who would encourage me to use Linux. For my desktop I already use Linux Mint.
I agree that they shouldn’t have picked Windows but it makes sense to keep everyone on the same software stack to avoid wasting time helping people install basic stuff that might or might not run on their systems
Well yeah, it’s your laptop and your responsibility to install stuff.
So the main reason you’re going for windows is because you’re afraid you won’t know how to install stuff on linux and won’t get any support from the college?
Fair enough, but you did say you are a Linux user, so that shouldn’t really be a big problem. Things like wine and VMs also exist to help running windows apps.
Wine is by no means a stable option for all windows software. Some windows stuff just will not run on Linux. And not all laptops are capable of virtualization.
My uni let me use linux alternatives but I had to do some serious debugging by myself. The biggest issue was caused by snap LOL
