I’m on 24H2 Windows 11 with a local account set up, ran windows debloat tool and have CoPilot/onedrive/other data mining features un-installed.
Edit: I have a plan to make the switch to Linux. For now I was just looking for any feedback on how to handle current Windows OS. I whole heartedly hate Microsoft as much as the next, I promise lol.
While FreeCAD has made huge leaps forward it’s just not there yet, and it may never be what’s needed to replace windows exclusive CAD software.
I’m stuck with the windows second boot, for better or worse, unless i change profession.
Oof, I hear you there. So the CAD software you use won’t run under WINE?
Oddly enough, I’ve repaired a plasma cutter controller system running CAD software from 1991, running under Microsoft Xenix of all things.
It probably ain’t too much of a stretch to get that software running under Linux, if only the company released their source code.
It was cheaper for them to keep their old stuff running than dump $20,000+ into a new updated system.
Yeah, too glitchy (missing functionality) with wine and the cloud services are unreliable if working at all. Work stuff so gotta use it 🫠
