Oh,you want arguments? I'll give you arguments:

  • prehistoric interface.
  • the stupid thing don't have CMYK mode, the most basic thing needed if you work with graphics.
  • lack of adjusting layers a.k.a. non-destructive editing.
  • It will lock up and lose your work for apparently no reason. I lost a graphic due to a crash because I made the incredibly challenging action of changing a font. It also cannot handle big files at all.
  • It's so. Fucking. Slow.
  • That stupid, infantile, childish, emotionally stunted name.

There's more but I'm not in the mood of reliving the time I had with this turd.

Quite a few products allow for this home use. Aids with training, familiarisation and locking users into their ecosystem. I've been able to do this a few times to help learn complex programs.

Completely legit with Adobe as far as I'm aware - since there is only the one licence available via online check-in so can't be used on more than one at a time.

Autodesk is similar - used to have an allowance for a training/home use licence (may have been extra), even the common Office 365 corp licence allows for up to 5 installations and doesn't really care where you install it.

Corp data on a home device or using your own gear for WFH is another story though.

Tiny11 looks very sus honestly, you shouldn't trust random ISOs. Even if the dev may seem trustworthy, it is really hard to know if the OS is infected.

I'd recommend replacing Tiny11 with AtlasOS, which is open-source :)

Yeah, as shadowtofu points out below, you're thinking of Tiny11 Core, which is the extra stripped down version that's not recommended for most users.

Tiny11 can update just fine, it just won't nag you to immediately update all the time like regular windows does.

I've been using Tiny11 as my secondary daily driver (my desktop main is stil running Windows 10) for a few months now, updating roughly once a month (with the option to do it more often if I want to) with absolutely no problems.

Are you sure that it cannot be updated? The GitHub readme sounds like updating Tiny11 Core is impossible (and it also lacks Windows Defender), implying that Tiny 11 can in fact be updated.

jrgd 3 points 2 years ago

From the Github README:

Also, for the very first time, introducing tiny11 core builder! A more powerful script, designed for a quick and dirty development testbed. Just the bare minimun, none of the fluff. This script generates a significantly reduced Windows 11 image. However, it's not suitable for regular use due to its lack of serviceability - you can't add languages, updates, or features post-creation. tiny11 Core is not a full Windows 11 substitute but a rapid testing or development tool, potentially useful for VM environments.

It literally says that it cannot be updated from a built OS install. You need to reinstall tiny11 by rebuilding the install image with a newer Windows 11 base image. Obviously it would be best to do this every time there is a security patch release for Windows 11.

EDIT: Rereading further, the bigger Tiny11 image might be able to be updated in-OS. I'm going to dig through the ps1 scripts to see if the README holds up to that un-noted capability.

EDIT2: I don't see any registry edits that knock Windows Updater offline. I'll test it in a VM to see if things work (from prebuilt when it eventually downloads). Though I am unsure at this moment if such an image's changes will survive a Windows update at all.

EDIT3: VM not tested yet, but an issue on the GitHub seems to corroborate my initial assumption.

EDIT4: VM tested. Things claimed to be patched out (Edge) came back with one of the cumulative updates applied shortly after install. Other cumulative updates are being blocked (error instantly on attempt to install after download) (perhaps unintentionally). Image downloaded claimed to be for 23H2, but Windows 11 22H2 was installed, seemingly with no way to actually upgrade. I think my point stands.

Nobody there has technology or speaks English so I don't know what your talking about. They just farm Bananas and stuff. And I think there are drugs and tacos somewhere in the mix.

That's how the world sees South America. Just be glad you aren't the land of poverty (Africa)

Part of Russia is part of Eastern Europe. But but all Eastern Europe is Russia.

they would prefer you use their pirated software rather than using their alternatives. if you aren't someone that would be paying for it anyway, this is the desirable outcome for them. stick it to them by abandoning their platforms all together.
