> Your real mistake is not installing Windows 11 Pro. Which you can get for $24 from stacksocial. [1] With PowerShell and Group Policy Editor you can clean ... just like you would configuring your favorite Linux distro...which you are advocating for:

I don't know man, this sounds like Stockholm syndrome. Aside from the extra money and the Linux fanboyisms... why not just install a configurable OS that isn't user hostile?

Windows is just too unstable for my computer illiterate grandparents. They are slowly loosing their vision, they can't handle the spastic updates to UI, the tabloid headlines, random games that are automatically installed and other visual garbage... the list could go on. I setup their desktop environment to be incredibly simple, just enough for their needs, with remote access, and no spontaneous updates.

I'm not advocating against Windows because FOSS reasons. I have no time for bullshit, I need something that works and Windows does not.
