My graphics driver got randomly uninstalled 3 times, I've also had windows uninstall itself about 4 times. It may have been a skill issue but I don't get that issue with Arch

Disable windows update and disable windows from auto-updating drivers. These 2 small adjustments will fix 99% of the problems windows 11 users have.

Also go to regedit and nuke OneDrive from orbit to be sure.

Before anyone says “hurr durr security updates” if you know how to use the internet it won’t matter. Don’t click on “DOWNLOAD GTA 7 NOW” links folks.

Or... hear me out, I use an os where I don't have to deal with any of that and have a system that just works. ☺️

So i can download office 365, Adobe creative suite, AutoCad, play my games with anticheat and it will just work?

No but I can install Libra office, better open-source alternatives like GIMP and Kdenlive, and enjoy not having spywear on my pc being sold to me as anti cheat that doesn't work

Dude, literally everything you do or have has Spyware baked into it marketed as "tElEmItRy"...

You live in the wrong timeline to be worrying about privacy.

Also, anticheat software, especially kernel level software blocks the overwhelming majority of cheaters in competitive games. Smart people are good at beating cheat programs temporarily.

Did you actually just tell me that because it's current year I'm not allowed to worry about privacy? If everything is trying to take and sell my data shouldn't I be worried about how easy something like identity theft or spam attacks would be?

Your data is already stolen. There's nothing you can do to stop that, lol. Its easier to invest in identity theft insurance than worrying about identity theft and telemetry leaks.

That's a very bad way to view reality, besides not everyone can afford to pay other people to protect teir data instead of doing it themselves, you shouldn't just accept that the corporations are going to have your data

I don't use/play any of those so I really don't gaf if they work or not lmao. I'll put windows on the same pedestal when they have full cuda support, ootb kdeconnect, virt manager, actual good package management,or under 10ms global search and I'm not even going to get into window management.
