Omfg the amount of bloatware on this laptop is insane! Windows really is just bloat at this point. It reminds me of when I was younger and used to have a cheap shitty Optus/Telstra phone they probably sold as a loss leader. They used to come with sooo much bloatware. Even the cheap Samsung’s used to.
But seriously. No I don’t fucking want Norton, LinkedIn, candy crush, Microsoft maps, or Facebook. God. And everything is so pushy, why can’t it be quiet bloatware.
Open edge
Search for chrome
“There’s no need to switch to another browser! Edge performs better.”
Close popup
Go to the download chrome page
“Microsoft edge performs up to 3x faster than >google chrome!”
Close popup
Download chrome
Open chrome
“Installer error! Failed with error code 57”
Norton popup: “we found a threat on your device! But don’t worry. We blocked it.”
I NEVER WANTED NORTON OR EDGE I JUST WANT CHROOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEE. FUCK. OFF
this was also after about 15 minutes of trying to figure out how to fuck all the Microsoft garbage off and just use a local account.
And now:
MSI Centre popup:
“Have you backed up your system?”
NO I HAVEN’T BACKED UP MY FUCKING SYSTEM THERE’S NOTHING TO BACKUP YET YOU DONKEY! I HAVENT EVEN INSTALLED CHROME YET!!!

Imo, reinstall the LTSC version of windows and dual boot Mint.
Shame they didn’t get you a mac.
And Firefox not Chrome.
Idk what LTSC is, but I think I’ve gotten rid of all the bloat now. Not really interested in Linux on this laptop. Also chrome, not Firefox.
