Fuck Windows

It finally happened. Windows 11 annoyed me so much that I completely removed it from all my systems. I've always kept it around in dual-boot for work purposes, Visual Studio and the like, but no more. Any Windows-related activity will be confined to a VM on my - now fully Linux - main PC.

I like to run my systems light; I have no tolerance for apps that serve no useful purpose to me. I tired to remove a whole bunch of pre-installed bloat from Windows, and they'd just come right on back; despite setting registry keys to values that are supposed to prevent the re-install, they'd appear like clockwork on every reboot.

I'm not surprised; it's the way the world has gone. The Web has been doing it for years, thus Operating Systems-as-a-Service was sure to follow.
