Gaming computer, I dropped Win11 because with PiHole blocking windows analytics, the whole OS slows down. Just opening the start menu took ~4 seconds with Ryzen 5950x on an m2 ssd with 64GB of RAM. Everything was sluggish. I’m back on Arch, but there are a few BattleEye/EAC games that don’t work I’d like to play again.
I work with some servers on an air-gapped network, when you first click the start menu after a reboot it can take a couple of minutes to let you do anything.

That’s extremely unoptimized by Microsoft just trying to phone home, holy hell!
Again, I would suggest using Windows 10 for those. Unless I am mistaked and 10 too begins crying if it can’t see mommy Microsoft.

Nah, 10 was fine for the most part. But it already has an announced EoL.
Lol. Yeah I installed pihole and noticed how much shit the laptops and phones are sending every frigging minute, even when they are not being used.
We don’t use windows in my home though, just some people are on macs. They don’t seem to freeze or slowdown with pihole being used.
