Now a days Linux got so good, I just boot into windows for playing games. What would be the law if it’s a person and not the most profitable company doing this to a person!
To anyone looking for this, you have this option to remove all Microsoft spyware crap while creating bootable usb with Rufus. Now a days Linux got so good, I just boot into windows for playing games. What would be the law if it’s a person and not the most profitable company doing this to a person!
