Bro, it's true you can't disable certain things, but you can certainly break it. I can still use a previous version and not update. I can still pirate ltsc. I can remove or install any bullshit I want. It takes the same fucking time when configuring your Linux distro of choice, unattended or not.

I don't give a fuck what Microsoft thinks. I can still break their os to do what I want.

You're too self absorbed in Linux good windows bad.

Sure, you can work around Microsoft's intentional sabotage, in the same way that you can make excuses about "falling down stairs" when friends ask about the black eyes your abusive spouse gave you. But you shouldn't have to.

It takes the same fucking time when configuring your Linux distro of choice, unattended or not.

...no it fucking doesn't, BTW. (At least not unless you intentionally choose to use a 'difficult' distro like Arch or Gentoo.)
