I’m on 24H2 Windows 11 with a local account set up, ran windows debloat tool and have CoPilot/onedrive/other data mining features un-installed.

Edit: I have a plan to make the switch to Linux. For now I was just looking for any feedback on how to handle current Windows OS. I whole heartedly hate Microsoft as much as the next, I promise lol.

        I think it was about a year ago. I have given up since then, but I have yet to find anyone capable of getting my audio to work properly, despite many hours of trying and help from multiple people from the Linux support subreddit. It might have been fixed since then, but I don’t have the disk space nor the time to attempt the switch again, and if I can’t even get audio to work, then I can’t use the OS.

        Edit: I believe this is the mobo if you want to look into things yourself. The best I every got was audio that was delayed by about a second. https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350M-HDV/index.asp

          Do you have some specific audio setup?

          My understanding that pulse and another one just work on everything since late 2010s

          Either way, not having time or energy is a fair point. I didn’t switch because I wanted to. Satya the creep forced my hand.

          Sounds like one day, microshit will get yountoo

            Literally just a 3.5mm headset plugged directly into the mobo. As simple as can be.

            I hope I can switch some day, but I doubt a lot of my actually specialized software will work any time soon, even if the audio issues have been fixed (or my computer replaced) so I don’t expect to any time soon, unfortunately.

      Yes, since many of them work out-of-the-box today. My PreSonus sound card worked fine when I made my setup four years ago.
