I vaguely remember either on PTIO or Privacy Guides that there were some recommendations on debloat tools. I'm wondering what people are using these days to achieve this?

I like O&O ShutUp10++

For future installs, just get a copy of windows (10/11, depends on what you prefer) LTSC.

Comes with zero bloat preinstalled, it's refreshing

[-] NNorAl@feddit.cl 7 points 10 months ago

LTSC by far the best way to use Windows, but W11 LTSC doesn't exist yet, It'll release next year source.

I'll also suggest using a tool like Windows Privacy Dashboard to disable telemetry just in case.

Does windows privacy dashboard interfer with like game anti cheat software? And other gaming related shit?

[-] NNorAl@feddit.cl 2 points 10 months ago

AFAIK no, I have been playing a couple of games in Co-op with friends and have no problems related with Windows for now, my only mistake was not measure performance before enabling everything.

[-] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Brilliant. Thank you.

Windows Privacy Dashboard looks very interesting, I’m going to have to give it a go. Thank you!

@vector_zero @Syakaizin
You could just live boot a linux USB and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ;) 😂

[-] vector_zero@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Lol, I've already got a fedora server and desktop, a debian home theater PC, and some sort of Linux running on an old laptop (I think it's Ubuntu right now - I use whatever the current project needs). No windows in my household!

This is likely what you are looking for
