Its Kind of insane to think about that you have to put so much effort into deshittifying windows 11. At that point its probably easier to switch to Linux (if you dont have anything that forces you to use win 11)

I personaly am not forced to use Windows, quiet on the contrary - at the moment i am daily driving Haiku. But there is always this odd person in the extended family that cannot switch because of an pigeon breeding management software or some obscure program used for some niche interest... so its nice to have a roadmap to let them keep using an system that keeps getting updated.
