I finally nuked Windows (lemm.ee)

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

Exactly. I would rather have to work a little and full control rather than non being able to work on problems they shove on me because I have no control

I just hate all the distractions and news clickbait stuff in the start menu. I use a computer to do tasks and browse media at my own discretion. Get the actual hell out of my face with forced infotainment consumption.

I’m just trying to get out before using an LLM-based OS is no longer optional with Microsoft. No game or software is worth dealing with that.

LLMs are seriously dope and the technology behind AI is incredible, but using it for everything isn’t appropriate. I’d like a place to ask a chatbot stuff. I don’t wanna be surrounded in it.

Exactly how I feel. Just keep it in my browser or maybe my IDEs. I don’t need my desktop pinging a corporation with all my data to occasionally use a chatbot.

Just goes to show how valuable data is. They’ll do anything to siphon it off you.
