Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been trying to explore Linux distros after the windows snapshot announcement but the sheer variety and the hardware troubleshooting has really kept be from making the switch.
Get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.
Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.
And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts.
Scripts on Gituub.
O&O is good, can also look into privacy.sexy to generate a script with all the stuff you want to rid yourself of. They also have several levels of preconfigured scripts (all open source) that give you a good starting point which you can review and adjust as per your preferences
Nice, thanks for the alternative!
I like the option for scripting it.
