I had that M1 Pro machine for a few months now but didn’t really used it.
It was from my old job, nuke and paved to Ventura.
I hear Ventura kind of sucks… so maybe I install Monterey and start using it.
What is the best or the cleanest way to get rid of Ventura?
I don’t have any data, no backup required.
I think I boot from Recovery but I haven’t actually tried that process in ages.

Run the most recent OS unless you have a VERY specific reason not to.

gadje,
One of the things you might miss is the ability to set boot and shutdown times WITHOUT using Terminal.
One of the things I like is that quite a few of the iPhone/iPad apps will run quite well in M1 Ventura. I am running 3 Macs on Ventura, and have found no changes I cannot live with.

I put a whole bunch of links into a thread recently. Ventura is NOT fine, IMO, but maybe it won't annoy you as much as it did me. The more iOS features creep into the MacOS, the less I like it.
I'm booting from a Monterey external on the one M1 machine here.
