I am sick and tired of microsoft spyware and bloatware slowing my already old computer down

You know this can be changed right? Windows 10 Enterprise + www.w10privacy.de/english-home/ + …microsoft.com/…/manage-windows-21h2-endpoints

Yeah, I’ve tried, and it doesn’t help

You didn’t try hard enough. Windows 10 Enterprise with that app + manual tweaks in group policy described by Microsoft can be turned into a system that does zero reporting / calling home and one that runs very smoothly. For what’s worth you’ll spend less time changing those settings than what the time it takes to have a usable desktop experience under Linux with a few games working.

they are going to stop supporting Win10 sooner than later

Current EOL for Windows 10 Enterprise is 14 Oct 2025 and there’s a petition going on to extend it.

Do you work for microsoft or something???

Of course I do, soon to be instated as CTO at Microsoft.

Sounds cool, however don’t forget this is under MatterMost Licensing:

A source available license gives access to source code, but places restrictions on its use. The Mattermost Source Available License allows free-of-charge and unrestricted use of the source code in development and testing environments, but requires a valid Mattermost Enterprise Edition License in a production environment.
