The IoT LTSC does not have this requirement. Or a USB made in Rufus can have it disabled.

Just burn the ISO to a USB drive with Rufus, a window full of options with check boxes will pop up, with a lot of options to turn installation bullshit.
Look up TPUs, like a coral tensor. Extremely efficient at machine learning, only, and cheap. If NPUs use anything like a TPU, then it absolutely can do local “AI.” Then once the heavy lifting is done, then I’d imagine all that data is uploaded.
Check out Windows Xlite, they have 10 and 11. Their install iso’s are stripped of all Microsoft’s bullshit.
I’m in the same boat, of needing to still use Windows.
Check out Windows XLite. Its a highly customized iso that gets rid of all the bullshit. No automatic updates (they’re provided as cumulative installers), no windows defender, no edge, no cortana, no store, no Xbox, etc. Those things are all stil available, too. Also, all the telemetry is disabled from registry and gpolicy, and since no auto updates, they won’t mess with those entries to “uh oh we turned on our spying again, and didn’t tell you.”
Its a massive breath of fresh air, feels like going back to XP and 7, when your fresh install has nothing at all. Not even dot.net and vcredist, which are also available.
Looks really sleek with the new floating panels, and being able to turn a panel into an icon task manger is still nice, and the new overview window is great for workflow.
However multi monitor support is still garbage. Like 3/4 of programs will never remember their size and position, so you have to make a never ending list of kwin window rules, which then end up affecting other windows you don’t want to. Other things like right click menus will show up on the wrong monitor way off in a corner get old real fast. Its like the cartoon spiderman meme of 3 Spiderman’s pointing at each other. Qt6, Wayland, and kwin all pointing the blame of why its like the way it is, while bug reports rack up another year of no fixes.
HDR having a toggle and working is really nice, but when it was on and I booted up a game, the in game options wouldn’t allow me to turn on HDR.
I DEFINITELY shared that worry, but I found it on an invite only forum that has a track record of clean isos and modded OS’es, and any uploaded files are scanned by multiple anti-malware/viruses. Plus I could see the dude FBConan had a long very active history there. He + someone else used to make Phoenix Lite, but other dude wanted to get greedy, so he ditched him and went solo. Now he just takes donations from Patreon, and makes downloading easy from his own website.
Multiple displays are always a shit show. Once a year I try out a current distro, and within a week I’m back on Windows. This time was Bazzite, and the exact same problems as always, both Plasma and Gnome, just last week. After all this time windows still don’t remember their size and position, and right click context menus randomly break and show up on the opposite monitor. Go and look up the bugs, and I can see they’ve been a problem for like 5-15 years.
If you give up on Linux for the time being, I HIGHLY recommend looking up Windows Xlite. It is a highly modified Windows 10 or 11 iso. They even have the option to install without Windows Defender, its such a breath of fresh air, almost feels like being back on XP or 7.
I just started to daily Bazzite, which is Kinoite but made for gaming. Can confirm it is so reliable it’s crazy. Best fresh install experience by a mile.
So I’m not the only one who feels lost with Bazzite, even after years tinkering with other distros?!
I need to sit down and try to wrap my head around the file structure, it just feels completely different except for the home dir.
Check out Bulls On Parade cover by Denzel Curry. It’s on YouTube from a radio station.
I’ve distro hopped a decent amount over the years, and bazzite is easily the best fresh install and ready to game experience. I am all team red, though. Added bonus you no longer have to worry about updates or breaking things.
I agree, but if you’re like me, situations arise where I’m not at home, and unexpectedly spending money. Being able to look at my bank on my phone in the moment helps me judge if what I’m about to do is worth it.
What’s wild, is they released a lengthy post on their anti-cheat this month. At one point they mention that current vanguard has been bypassed/defeated…a bunch of lazy clowns.
It also shows LoL’s old anti-cheat, you’d get cheaters/scripters/bots anywhere from 1 in 15 games, to 1 in 5, depending on your region. The higher your rank, the more you’d run into cheaters, too, by a lot. Riot games is just a cesspool of free 2 play trash that breeds the most toxic of people.
In a YouTube video I watched last year, a group came up with an extremely good A.I. powered anti-cheat. The kicker is this, they couldn’t sell it to a single major studio, because said studios implied that their player count would suffer way too much.
None of these studio’s give a single fuck about competitive integrity. Just stfu, keep playing 100s of matches in an obviously broken rank/match making system to slightly rank up, and give us $.
Secure boot and TPM are only needed for vanguard if you’re on W11. On 10 there are no prerequisites.
That’s just a massive book with extra steps lol
People with a philosophy degree are some of the most wanted by employers that don’t require someone with specific math based skills, such as engineers. Philosophy = I know how to think, and think differently.
Equalizer APO with PEACE for GUI.
Looking through their GitHub I found a thread about their progress for v14, and found someone who is compiling the v14 testing builds:

So far I’ve only had 1 very minor visual bug with a widget after a week of use. I can highly recommend trying it out.
There are quite a few times when the publishers get the hate for a studio’s failings.
