Every single day I am given more reasons never to use Windows again. Glad I moved to Linux early this year. My next desktop will likely be a System76 to ensure Microsoft doesn't get a cut from my next purchase, and it supports a business that supports Linux.

Does anyone know any good "debloat" scripts to disable all these modern features of Windows 11 and bring me back to something that resembles the Windows I grew up with? I'm having a hard time keeping track of all of the registry keys and config settings I need to update to keep this crap at bay.

Not really a windows user, but I had some success with: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

Proton is able to run just about anything now, not just games. Stop using Microsoft Operating Systems where you can and mark them as needing replacement with real software in all your reports.

No, Revit and other CADs are still not working.

The day Proton or WINE can run the whole Adobe suite of products is the day I will probably switch to using Linux full time.

Would you consider replacing the Adobe suite with other products?

Im surprised Adobe themselves dont try to help with this.

Adobe would be able to try a vertical integration play

I'm not a windows user myself, but I'm curious what you windows users think about this.

Surely they can't be thinking much about operating systems?

This doesn't deserve downvotes because it is entirely correct. Your average Windows user doesn't know about this let alone think about it. The number of people who know and care about this are an extreme minority.

The day when I can play Rocket League under Linux without anti-cheat kicking in is when I will stop using it completely. Until then, I am dual booting.

The funny thing about this was that Rocket League was native on Linux and Psyonix removed Linux support.
