@the_crotch @Nyciferi do you want a bing search?
This is exactly how you get a bing search on windows 11!
No, computer, I dont want to see a bing page with a copilot analysis of all the things “note” could be, I wanted to open Notepad.
Now we’re just swearing and scaring the other people in the office.
Not that you should have to, but web results can be disabled in start search.
Winkey+R will open the no-frills run menu. As long as you know the exact exe or component name, you’re good:
- notepad
- calc
- cmd
- control
- control userpasswords2
- mstsc
- ncpa.cpl
- diskmgmt.msc
- devmgmt.msc
- shutdown (with /s, /r or /h switches)
A few decent ones there.
Start dual booting now. get a 2nd drive and use your BIOS boot selector to keep everything seperated, windoze has a habit of nuking bootloaders and fucking up linux installs. make sure it has no idea whats going on.
But the real secret to switching is don’t inconvenience yourself. use the right tool for the job and you’ll quickly find how bad of a tool windows has become.
Built my wife her first gaming PC. Installed Ubuntu. I’m shocked at how easily everything runs.
say what you want about Ubuntu (and god knows people will) but it just works, and that is the main thing people switching want.
