Did you recently buy a new laptop or upgrade from Windows 10, only to find yourself frustrated with the Windows 11 experience? You are not alone. Many users dislike its online account requirements, advertising, background services, cloud integration, and frequent interface changes.
The Windows 11 Linux Replacement Pack is your alternative.
Supplied on a single 64GB multi-boot USB drive, this pack includes five carefully selected Linux operating systems designed to make moving away from Windows straightforward. They offer modern desktops, strong privacy, excellent performance, and greater control over how your computer works.
Simply boot from the USB drive and choose which Linux operating system you would like to try or install from the easy-to-use multi-boot menu.
Why Are People Moving Away from Windows 11?
If you are tired of the modern Windows experience, Linux can help solve many of the frustrations users face:
- Use a local account — Most Linux distributions let you create a straightforward local user account without requiring an online Microsoft account.
- Keep control of your files — Store documents locally without being pushed towards automatic cloud synchronisation.
- A cleaner desktop experience — No Start menu advertisements, suggested apps, or repeated prompts to subscribe to additional services.
- Greater privacy — Linux generally collects far less usage data and gives you more control over the software running on your computer.
- Updates on your terms — Choose when to download and install updates instead of having them interrupt your work.
- Fast and efficient performance — Linux can use fewer background resources, helping both modern and slightly older computers feel faster and more responsive.
