Just… install Linux if you’re going to do that much work like… why
school ~~software~~ spyware refuses to work on linux :(
I actually did switch my gaming PC to Linux because I decided it was going to be less effort than trying to force Windows to obey.
It was the way Microsoft was progressively disabling workarounds that was the final straw. As soon as a way to disable telemetry or something became widespread, it wouldn't work any more with the next update and you needed to find new methods.
Linux just does as it's fucking told.
Some people enjoy slop!
I had to learn about it so my kid could play the games he wants to play that don't work on Linux.

I did a Tiny11 install with Rufus, felt accomplished and then asked me the exact same thing. Have been running Linux for 6 months now and didn‘t boot up my W11 partition since last year.
