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.
