    Yes. In order to run pirated content I had to run through a couple of hours of troubleshooting to disable the Microsoft anti-malware software, which would quarrantine and refuse to restore software without consent.

    Pluton is a new name and may be Windows 11. Hopefully you can uninstall it with a third-party utility (windows utilities won’t let you, and doing it by hand involves mucking around with the registry.l

    I’m going to make the switch to Linux once I can brave it because Windows is malware and spyware and getting worse with each iteration.

        It really is. I’ve tried yearly and always have to go back to windows. Three months ago I tried again and I love it. Everything works, gaming is great, I’m over windows finally.

        I still struggle making some games work, but it’s definitely close to perfection. Steam games are almost always flawless now.

        Craziest thing is how bloated windows is. I dual boot and when I come back to Linux I always realize how much abuse I’m willing to take when using Windows.

      If it took you a few hours to figure out how to play a pirated video then a Linux isn’t for you.

        No one likes gate keeping. Ideally Linux would be easy for people at any level to switch to.
