Well the install comes with a load less crap pre-installed as well.

The only once that are harder to get from the official Microsoft website are Enterprise , IoT, LTSC versions. Which IMO are better then the standard home,pro,workstation etc. Also server ISOs are a bit harder to get from their.

Yes and the better option if you do want to use a Microsoft account. Just login to the apps like onedrive on the local account.

All files are official Microsoft ISO files. This has everything you need including explanation and instructions how you can verify its legitimize. and how to activate windows

To bypass the forced Microsoft account you can create a unattend file and pre configure the ISO to make a local account.

He’s evolving guys! Just backwards… And choosing a OS that is reaching EOL even.

I mean yes… but realistically no. Also the risk of data loss at that point is high. you will miss things. the best approach would be to make a proper backup reinstall and put the data back.

I dont believe it is possible to do after install

Yes but be aware it is not simple to manage properly and probably requires a team to manage it well.

I personally use Borg to do automatic backups.

Tick a box when installing some distros. Like OoenSUSE.

I can go weeks without rebooting if I want to Using a gtx 1080Ti with it. No idea why so many folks still have these big issues. Some minor issues sure.

Why though?

To simply running Kubernetes at least at home. Take a look at Talos OS. It is build for Kubernetes. But I totally agree it still isn’t for the faint of hard.

Kubernetes comes to mind for that

For me it is just trying different flavors. They are all unique in their own right. I have not used Slackware yet. Might give it a go though.

I mean I love OpenSUSE TW. Been using it for well over 2 years. One of the best distros I used. But I am slowly looking to try something new. Its all fun and games 😄

For devices like laptops and PCs. I use Urbackup to make backups.

For all the apps I host on Kubernetes I setup S3 backups to self hosted Minio.

In such a way that it checks the integrity of the files. Which a normal copy paste does not do. Rsync does this as well bdw.

I actually installed the app on top of a Eversolo DMP-A6 Works fairly well. although the UI is a bit small on it.
