My girlfriends laptop came with S mode and holy shit, I just about threw it out the window. I knew Windows 11 would be dogshit but when I couldn’t run firefoxinstaller.exe I got so annoyed. I then spent ~30 minutes troubleshooting how to allow running fucking exes as the guides were all out of date, including the one that were a month old.
I’ve been using Linux and XP for a few years now and god damn does it feel gross to use Win11. Not having control over your own PC is disgusting.
Now? Doesn’t M$ still release the “S” mode version of Windows that only allow downloads via their “official App Store”?

Windows machines make great Linux devices. Hope your gf likes her new Ubuntu laptop :)
You can convert to the home edition for free (for now at least)
Also you can disable secure boot and just install linux.
