If you’re going to reinstall windows, try installing tiny11: github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, consider this.
Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff
KrisND@lemmy.world 10 months agoWhat I’m probably going to do is reinstall windows 11, complete updates, run de-bloater. Then install Ubuntu along side windows (super easy) and disable Ubuntu Telemetry. Use Ubuntu as primary for just about anything, have a win VM if I can use it or worst case Windows still available if I absolutely need it.
I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn’t compatible. Having Win installed, I could use it strictly for gaming too if I wanted.

Nice, I’ll check it out! I only plan on still having it installed because some exams I take might not work in a VM. Literally the only reason I plan to dual boot.

Good for you. Keep working at it. I’m not sure what usecase you have for your computer, but I am very sure you’ll find a solution or alternative to all your problems.

Really? AFAIK the only thing special it requires that a normal OS doesn’t is virtualization, and any reasonably-modern x86 CPU should support that just fine. What does your hardware lack?

Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

I’m actually going to give it another try, I made a fresh USB for it, it’s worth a fair attempt. I know the GPU is gonna probably be unusable, but I was looking at Qubes for 80% of my tasks.
