    I would but it’s a work computer and it’s out of my hands. I’ve already tried running mint on one of them and about 70% of the software we use doesn’t even remotely work.

      You can also try using flyoobe.

      It’s just a script that runs scripts to remove annoyances from windows, and a lot of the things it does can be done without local admin

        Someone I worked with did that and got away with it somehow. He would get an occasional nag but mostly they just let him do it. Wish I had those cajones.

        Good advice.

        I actually did put Mint on my work computer - but I have a great deal of leverage (hard to replace), and my boss likes me, and the Windows 10 to 11 uograde had failed several times, and all we we being measured on was getting off of Windows 10.

        I’ve been running Mint for work since just before the Windows 10 end of life last year, and it has been lovely.

        Ask me anything, of course.

        But obviously, most folks should never do this without some kind of blessing from their employer.
