We shouldn't have to fight the OS, this is ridiculous.
Before moving definitively to Linux I'm considering installing a proxy on my router, bloc all ports except one and just redirect Firefox and a few apps that need connectivity to this port.
I'm not a network guy though, might be complicated.

- alkonaut 10y agoYou'll either fight it because it doesn't manage power property on your new laptop or you'll fight it because it shows bing on your start menu or sends telemetry about what apps you run. I'm not going to argue which is "worse" but I sure prefer to switch a few reg keys to stay ahead of Microsoft, to scouring forums trying to figure out what well hidden lever I need to pull to just get the hardware working. You'll be fighting the OS either way - I'm picking this (easy) fight.
