how do I set my version to European
- better question is, how do I set my american to european?
  
  American folks really need to fight for their rights
  
  The change for EEA users doesn't even work currently, so no one actually knows. I have a $50 bounty out though to figure out what's needed once it does work though.
- Use german/uk during setup, switch after.
  
  Btw, deskmodder has a slightly deshittyfied Windows 11 iso.
  
  This doesn't even work currently. Despite them saying that those in the EEA won't have to deal with Edge. I'm sure it'll work eventually, just not right now.
  
  So they restrict language choice to ip range? Or does the workaround no longer work, they use ip range or something else now?
  
  The moment the VPN disconnects, edge pops up

- Install Linux. Problem solved
  
  That's just swapping one problem for another, and I say that as a Linux user
  
  Swapping out a large listmof unsolvable problems, bugs, and limitations for a smaller lost of very doable problems.
  
  And I say that as a 24 years Linux user who seriously only sees shit getting worse on the other side every time
  
  The average user wants their computer to just work, they want to open up their new Bluetooth headphones that their son/ grandson bought them and it connects as expected. Your definition of problem and what is solvable is very different to theirs
  
  The average beginner distro handles bluetooth headphones just fine. On Windows they do not always work reliably
  
  They do not always work reliably anywhere.
  
  Anecdotally, I disagree with that. I've never had an issue with Bluetooth on windows. I struggle a lot with Bluetooth on ubuntu
  
  I've had issues with Bluetooth on Windows 11, but it worked perfectly on Linux Mint. On Windows 11 the Bluetooth card would simply disappear after I put the laptop to sleep, only appearing at random after multiple restarts. It did work in Windows 10 just fine, however. Similarly, I had to change my WiFi card just for Windows 11. It kept disconnecting from network. Again, something that did not affect Windows 10 or Linux Mint.
  If I didn't have unused WiFi card laying around, I definitely wouldn't be buying another one just for Windows.
  
  Drivers are actually something that Linux handles far better than Windows lol
  
  That's funny. I'm listening right now to Spotify music on my Bluetooth headset from my Linux desktop. I got like 5 different bluetooth headsets that I use on three different computers, all works flawlessly.
  
  So I guess I could say that that is actually not a problem?
  
  Edit: to clarify: Bluetooth worked immediately and out of the box on each of my computers, a desktop and two different laptops. All I needed to do was pair the devices and go time. I can pair whatever Bluetooth device that I want.

  Then what are you doing here in the comments of an article about yet another software company abusing it's users for the nth time? Then go give your private data willingly to these companies.
  
  I don't directly have a problem with closed source software if it wasn't for they fact that any closed source software product that gets big gets abused and riddled with ads.
  
  That's why, Linux.
  
  Nobody wants to deal with Windows either. It's just the monopoly that has been pushed onto us that we've been forced to get used to.
