hi guys!! ( linux users donât jump on me pls i only use windows for some apps) so i was noticing that my windows os is full with microsoft garbage that consumes my ram and network speed for nothing!! like shitty edge!! and looked for a solution and i found debloating. but i need to make a backup first in case something goes wrong . local disk is : 237gb - used 133gb = 103gb free i have a 64gb usb i want to make a high compressed backup for everything including my windows 11 is it possible with that 64gb usb? and what software to use pls? pls donât tell using a cloud !! đi have a slow internet cuz i live in a rural area. thanks in advance to anyone!
haha i know that im gonna face people like you! but listen man i need windows for some softwares that only work on it. understand me!! đ¤
I suggest trying a virtual machine! Some softwares detect this (and there are ways around that too) but mostly it should be seamless!
On one hand, I get it. Youâre used to Windows and want to use an environment youâre used to and apps youâre comfortable with.
On the other, you need to be aware that youâre going to be constantly fighting an uphill battle. Microsoft doesnât care that you donât want those programs using resources, theyâre going to install them because itâs in the best interest of their shareholders. The programs might be able to be removed using third party tools, but then youâre relying on random tools found on the internet to remove bits of your operating system without hurting anything or doing anything malicious.
The data these programs gather is more valuable to Microsoft than the blowback because this is the exact stance people will take: sure it sucks that this is being forced upon me, but itâs still better than leaving. So Iâll either deal with it (99% if users are here) or ill find a random program and cross my fingers it does only whatâs on the label.
The only solution I see is to swap to something else, causing Microsoft to lose market share and thereby convincing shareholders not to force this on users.
The choice is yours.
thank you for the respectful comment, i appreciate you, some softwares donât have a linux version and i donât know if winehq is good for running them, anyway i think itâs time to switch to linux anyway cuz i canât take it anymore!
