>How do I debloat/debotnet Windows 10 or 11?
Offline (pre-install): rentry.org/mdl-optimize-guide
Online (live install): privatezilla / thisiswin11 (and dont mindlessly tick everything)
Don't mix offline & online tools with each other.

>Is Optimize-Offline worth it?
No.

>Can you get the Ryzen scheduler on LTSC 2021?
Yes.

>Can I upgrade to LTSC 2021?
Only from previous LTSC builds w/o doing the upgrade matrix hack in rentry paste.

>LTSC or LTSC IoT?
Same thing just different licensing and support.
LTSC for corporate PCs/devices with 5 years support (KMS only).
LTSC IoT for consumer devices with 10 years support (HWID only).

>Do I even need LTSC?
All versions of W10 are essentially LTSC now getting mostly security updates as development of new features has shifted focus to W11.

>I already run Windows 7, but don't want to clean install?
The non-LTSC installers can upgrade.

>Are homebrew ISOs safe (Gen2/Ameliorated)?
Not really, use only official Microsoft images.

It's mpv.org

it's the bare minimum to provide some mouse inputs, mpv is designed mostly around keyboard shortcuts (there's a shitload) and config files. my definition of a good UI is that it doesn't look like ass and get in your way. mpv does that.

And the biggest benefit is that it just werks, plays everything flawlessly.

So anons i have set up a weekly backup thing from control panel to a external hdd i always keep connected to my pc and my question is what if I forgot to connect it once in a while and skipped a backup cycle and connect it in time for the next, will it just continue to work or bug out?

Anons help.

that's how friends talk to each other

That’s not an insult. Since Vista anyone can install windows. You have to be mentally challenged if you can’t install it.

I'm fucking annoyed that the majority of PCs for sale can't run windows 11 yet still cost over 1 grand. Shit time to get a PC. Luckily Total War Warhammer 3 is 100% Linux native, but I really wanted a new windows 11 PC but not for todays shit prices.

first day?

What do you mean? Everything that was made in the last 3-4 years will run windows 11 without any problems. And something older will run 11 with a few tweaks.
