⚡️ FUCK WINDOWS - I'm a little ashamed to tell you why I've been very inactive today, but it's a scandal!

I bought a used Thinkpad (I plan to take nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqxd28ts to the next level), when I first turned it on I did everything properly, but they forced me to create an Outlook account to activate Windows. Today I spent a lot of time trying to remove my Outlook account from my Microsoft pc account, impossible to find so I ask their AI "copilot" he gives me outdated documentation I lose patience and I decide to do a reinstallation of the complete system so that I make rather a local account during my reset rather than an account linked to Outlook I wait several minutes and arrives at 100% the reinstallation of the operating system has bug he offers me to cancel.

In a fit of nerves I find a way to delete my Outlook account completely (which will only be effective in 60 days) I accept. BUT IT REMAINS IN MY WINDOWS as an administrator account.

The solution is chatGPT which gives it to me in a bit of a rogue mode (I've already published the prompt) which tells me to disconnect your pc from the internet and it's only then that Windows suggests you create a local account otherwise it's impossible.

I end up creating a local account, I make it administrator, I reboot and I finally manage to delete this Microsoft account linked to my Outlook. At the same time, I purge my PC of all the crap like teams, onedrive, and the whole office suite. I don't want to hear any more about these Trojans.

I was this close to sticking a magnet on my SSD ( I know it worked on HDDs back in the day)

Before I press publish, I almost forgot: yes, I know Linux, but unfortunately I can't play with it, which is the only thing that stops me every time.

⚡️💻 I LISTENED TO YOU! I decided to ditch Windows on this PC and finally switch to Linux. Five months ago, many of you gave me advice, and today, I did it!

I chose PopOs! I know, there are far too many choices, but now that I've taken the plunge, I can easily switch to Ubuntu or Fedora if necessary, since I've installed Linux on my entire hard drive.

No dual boot! No turning back!

Congratulations, Flash. I've used PopOs for years and have been very happy with it.

I’m glad to know, so I made the right choice 💪

You should get yourself a camera cover btw

There is already a default camera cover on this Thinkpad model

Next stop: ricing rabbit hole

So happy you made the jump. Congratulations! Windows is on such a terrible path I can’t imagine they’ll ever back down from the surveillance nightmare they’re building.

I never used PopOS but I tried their new Cosmic Desktop when it was still alpha and it’s pretty neat. Doesn’t stand a chance to Omarchy for me but I like customizing things and that’s not for everyone.

Welcome to the libre side, brother. This is the true PC Master Race in action!
