Of course linux folks (me included) would say the normal shtick, but got damn messing with some of those OrangePi boards feels quite the same. Their debian fork is hosted on google drive.. I did find a commit tree, but lets be real, nobody is truely auditing their sources and that's half the problem to begin with. One board in particular I couldn't for the life of me get arbian compiled, so I ended up rebasing their image to armbian sources. I still feel dirty.

Man, that's a whole lot of homework just to access a Microsoft account. In addition, Windows has a nasty habit of rolling back changes every time there's a major update (like upgrading from build 24H2 to 25H2), so the tweaks listed might not even stick.

Just a reminder, more likely than not Linux can do everything you do on Windows. Statistically your weird internal corpo program that was made bespoke over a decade several decades ago can just be run on a locked down VM. Everything else needs WINE, at most.

Step 1: switch to Linux

My guide is even simpler - don't install windows in first place. If you have one, format the disk.
