I've got a whole powershell script I run these days on a new Windows install to remove eveything I don't need and set things how I like them

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 6 points 5 months ago

Used to do that but inevitably what happens is:

  1. An update comes along and reinstalls it.

  2. Something else is broken by it's removal because it's a dependency of the OS.

Eventually I got tired of subjecting myself to the abuse.

When MS makes a spam-free, ad-free, telemtry-free, account-free, lightweight version of Windows, I'll be first in line to buy a license.

The closest thing is LTSC, it still has some telemetry but less than the main version. They haven't released LTSC for Windows 11 yet though.

they will probably call it LTSD

I wish I could move but mac OS multi-monitor support is terrible and Linux desktop gives me endless problems

I hear ya. Personally I'd rather deal with the endless Linux problems than Windows' constant force-feeding bullshit.

LTSC, but they don't sell that to end customers.
