I created this application after getting tired of seeing settings change for no apparent reason. Due to privacy concerns of how Microsoft is with their aggressive telemetry I decided to use this to make sure my settings stay in tact.
That’s a cat & mouse game. A german investigation of Windows 10 data privacy back then was named project SiSyPHuS for a reason. It never ends.
This is something I’d love to have for the past decade or so, but as I’m now transitioning to Linux I hope to not have much of this problem anymore.
Nice of you to create this though, and I share your tiredness of settings being changed behind our backs…
I’m on Linux and I was going to shit all over Windows but realized I could use this on a few servers that I fuck with and constantly break.
I enjoy using NixOS with Impermanence for servers.
settings can’t be changed if you nuke them from orbit and create them fresh on every boot. To get the same behavior on windows, you’d probably need an image-based system and neutered updating
Damn, imagine never having used a sane OS in your life ever
Linux desktop is still a mess. Windows sucks but it’ll work out of the box and doesn’t require you to research motherboard drivers and gpus to work.
Nice try MSBot, this hasn’t been the case for a long time
Windows, famous for not needing drivers installed lol
What ever you say. I’m not getting into arguments with zealots. Last time a bazzite founder came to acknowledge my issues and the guy went 5 threads deep arguing with him 🤣.
You’re just off topic and being petty because you can’t follow a thread 🤣. Skill issue.
I set a static IP for my Windows partition and block it from internet with my firewall. It’s hostile malware that must be quarantined. My Linux partition has a different IP that is not blocked.
On a related note, I jack up my Mint install a few times a year with nobody to blame but myself. I recently reinstalled it with btrfs, Timeshift with automatic snapshots, and btrfs-grub so I can boot from a snapshot instead of troubleshooting or reinstalling. I realize other distros like openSUSE are more or less setup like this out of the box or offer full immutability, but I like Mint.
