How to un-fag your windows experience.

I'm gonna say fuck it and get Linux next computer, and there's nowhere better to put this, but I've followed every tutorial I can find and can't get Edge off of my machine to save my life. Any ideas?

You can't. Even if you remove the shortcut on the desktop it will come back the next time you update Windows.

Use the debloater script I put in my post, or go straight to the Edge program file and purge it entirely. It may come back after a few months depending on what method you use, but I found just deleting it all outright worked fine.

It amazes me people will bitch about microsoft and globohomo, but yet refuse to even TRY linux.

Hey man, I tried Linux. I really wanted to stick with it. It just wasn't for me.

I'm a retard and generally know jack shit about what I'm doing with technology, so to make my life easier, one of the first things I did when I bought a new laptop with Windows 11 was finding Thisiswin11 and Explorer Patcher to do a quick broad sweep of most of the crap, give me back my legacy menus, and generally fix the interface to at least make it usable. God bless github.

I really should give Linux another shot. I once set up a laptop to dual boot Linux (I think Kubuntu but I forget) way back and tried to learn how to use it but got frustrated and gave up pretty fast. I couldn't do much since I didn't have the foggiest fucking idea how to find whichever device drivers were needed for my computer to recognize the presence of my network adapters so I could connect to the internet. My main motivation for trying Linux was that I hated Vista but I managed to roll it back to XP and didn't care anymore. I've been told it's much more beginner-friendly nowadays if you want it to be, a device without all the bloatware, subscription fees and surveillance is pretty appealing.

Linuxfags with suggestions for retard-proof distributions can feel free to PM me.

Linux Mint is really the way to go if you've never done linux before. It's the most "shit just works" build I've found.

Once you cut your teeth on it, you can always migrate to another distro and go full FOSS-tard.

Today I learned that there are several modified W10/11 OS out there that completely removes the AIDS and turns you into a well functioning member of society. I might use those instead of Linux now.

they might have the right intention but you can never be sure what else they slipped in there, and windows being windows if you need some of the removed stuff at some point you might have to reinstall from scratch anyway (unless you want to spend hours trying to figure out why shit doesn't work and won't install).

not enough support for the stuff you need or just to different so things that are fast under windows take longer under linux?
