How to upgrade to Windows 11 with as much privacy, freedom and efficiency as possible

The best solution for privacy is to not use windows, seems like a good guide but even with all these modifications I would throw the computer in the dumpster and set it on fire before using it in any privacy sensitive or mission critical applications.
Linux runs fine these days, and with NTSync in the kernel and the work done on WINE and proton there really isn't a need to use an operating system that abuses you and sells your data for profit.

I don't disagree lol
Phew. You got me! Really had me going!

I know you think you’re being clever. But what you really are is arrogant. Telling someone the answer to their problem is to do as you do, instead of helping them with their issue.
I refuse to help people with installing any versions of windows out of ethical reasons, just like some tattooist refuse to tattoo people in the face or give them similarly stupid tattoos.
Yes, I'm arrogant enough to think I know better than those who haven't considered the issue at all.

This. Is. About. People. Needing. Windows. Only. Software.
I'd ask them to consider their dependence on windows only apps. If they want help with installing linux I'm happy to help, but I'm not an enabler there to help perpetuate their negative dependence.

You can't do this if your job depends on using such software. And there is a ton

This is for people needing MSOffice, Adobe, AutoCAD and whatelse. This does not run in WINE, on purpose.
Just stop. Your comment does not help anyone.

Oh, works on my machine. Oh well.

Sure, many jobs require people to use unethical, but legal tools and methods. I used to work somewhere like that - and what ever OS they had installed was irrelevant because it was their equipment, their systems and I didn't use work stuff for personal things.
But really, are you describing someone dependent on a job or someone dependent on certain windows-exclusive applications? Are they forced to use their personal equipment for work stuff?

It’s fine to refuse to help, but offering your unsolicited opinion on windows instead of helping is just rude.

I think it's a rather human thing to do, explaining oneself when refusing to lend a hand. I also think warning friends, family and those I care for about what I consider dangerous to be quite nice.
I suppose we just have to agree to disagree about how we interact and care for our fellow humans.
