  • Potentially faster installation

    Particularly when you’re flashing the ISO you downloaded from MS to USB and it doesn’t work unless you use MS’s magic tool. Thus dropping you into the bootstrap paradox.

    Especially because it gets partway through the install before failing to load NVMe drivers complaining there is no installation media to load them from.

    It turns out it’s faster to install Ubuntu and download one of MS’s windows VM’s and use that to download and flash a USB than actually install Windows 11.









  • Last two laptops over bought for family have been AMD. They’ve been brilliant.

    IMHO Intel has eroded the last scrap of trust I had in them with the 14900K crap.

    Prior to that was Intel’s refusal to release Vulcan support for an older generation of iGPU to compel upgrades to newer CPU’s (by buying an entire new laptop). So I did, an AMD one.
