Snake! Oh no, it’s a snake!

Kubuntu crapped out on me after updating, so I tried a few other distros. Bazzite refused to install, but OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has made a really good first impression.

Is it much different to something like Pop_OS? I usually hear of Bazzite as a third-party ROG Ally OS.

Until they lobby to get laws changed, many companies have legal requirements regarding PII that mean serious fines if CoPilot or Recall ever turn on in their environment (and if they’re caught of course).

Windows is not going to fuck this up and force this on, handing easy legal wins against them to the world. They will have the normal configuration options available that they always do for features with potential legal liability attached.

If you’re using Enterprise on a personal machine, you’ve messed something up. There are other ways beyond Group Policy in that environment that are probably causing what you’re seeing. SCCM, Intune, Policies over the network vs local… that significantly raises the chances of something else stepping on your local Group Policies.

I’ve not had that problem on either of my Win 10 Pro machines when using Group Policy to disable things, over the last four years.

Okay?.. like, I get the point. But you’re telling me Linux does literally nothing you don’t want out of the box? It’s like saying “Run sudo rm -rf / —no-preserve-root and see what happens on Linux.”

W10… Nothing.

W11, some bullshit popover sidebar thing that takes up actually (Literally? Factually?) 50% of my desktop that tells me about the NASDAQ, the weather, some “local” roadworks in the next city over (when my street has roadworks blocking some significant traffic lights in the literal capital of my country), some recommendations for games, a shopping ad, and some bullshit news headlines that I don’t care about.
