I know that this is a Linux community, but this is a good version of Windows if you have to use it: https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

There’s Gnome integration.

Well, you can use Of365 online. Same with OneDrive. Some desktops even allow you to connect your MS account to the desktop (Gnome).

As far as music production goes I’m an avid user of Ableton Live.

Install Windows into VMware player, then install this into it.

Not something that’s absolutely necessary, but I’m just curious if the touch support of my laptop would be maintained.

It will be maintained.

Nvidia is fixing their mistakes on Linux day by day. I have a GTX 1660 super running under Fedora and it works well.

!Try Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC if you want Windows without junk. Here is the link!<

Dig out old PC from somewhere, install some Linux distribution, Tailscale and Docker/Podman, and install SearX that way.

Root your phone and degoogle it if it doesn’t have LineageOS image. If it does have LineageOS image, then flash it. Oh, and don’t use Google and YouTube. Use Brave/Vivaldi for web search and Tubular for YouTube.

Gnome and Cosmic. Gnome 'cause of simplicity and Cosmic because of Rust.

!I am a Rust programmer and I love this language!<

What do you expect? X11 is in maintenance mode. Although I’ll miss Polybar, I won’t miss the protocol.

!Why are you gay?!<

Jokes aside, it’s cool to see that.

And enable EAC Proton runtime for Fortnite.

Just write your own initialization system in bash. It is more reliable and less bloated.

I’d use Linux for homelab if there was native Fusion, since I need that for school.

These folks that I linked to are also responsible for Microsoft activation scripts. So if you want to show your middle finger with your wallet to Microsoft, you can do it with that script.

If you need Windows for some applications (e.g. Fusion, Call of Duty, etc.), dual boot it , but only the LTSC versions of it. Here are the links for the LTSC versions of Windows. I know that they’re not from the official source, but I checked them and the checksums match. Otherwise, use Linux.

AFAIK, Tailscale has Funnel, which is better than CF tunnels since you can expose any machine you have without buying an expensive switch.

No, because you can skip it.

If you don’t trust matrix.org, then you can self host the server yourself. Plus, the article you included is outdated.

Matrix I guess?
