Switch to Windows LTSC. Doesn't have copilot, no store, no onedrive, no candy crush and tiktok on a fresh install, and no need to figure out an account bypass.
Its the closest thing to what Windows was up to Windows 7 of a boring OS that you use to launch programs without it trying to be helpful or encourage you to login to an account.
Keep making note of it and keep forgetting til I have everything setup just right again. Thanks!
Can this swap be done live, or does it need to be on a fresh install??
I have Jellyfin/arr stack/Immich PC on win 11 and I freaking hate it, but dread swapping everything over to Linux
I do believe it requires a fresh install, similar to switching from Windows pro to home versions for example.
