| >setup up a WFH machine with just Chrome and nothing else. If you really narrow your use case(s) you can disable all kinds of things that are taking up memory and distracting your processor. I just did this for somebody too. Previously had current W11 since it came out, but the web platform was just changed, and suddently they couldn't keep Edge from interfering with the intended workflow any more. The employer only ever claimed to support W10 and Chrome so that's what I cooked up for the multiboot menu now. Only partitioned 32GB of space, and it's only about half full, there's nothing else installed except Chrome. Edge has been fully neutralized, and it's smooth sailing. No more Teams either, its webcamming in the browser now. They've been at it doing WFH a long time, way before covid, years ago I tested a Linux distro using Chrome and it worked even though no Linux or Mac was supported. Now with this stepwise change, for the actual tasks being accomplished, it does seem like a lot of the worker interaction with the main office which was once solely to co-ordinate with the team and all contribute very comparable value-added work independently, is now as familiar as possible while more likely being utilized to train a different entity to perform the value-added work in the future. For this type of thing Windows 11 does appear to be offering more possibilities than ever before, but Windows 10 doesn't look like a real slouch either. |
