If I was a malicious actor and I saw how vehemently people defended the usage of random scripts that claim to debloat Windows, MAN!
Some of them deactivate Windows Defender... UAC... It would be so easy as a malicious actor to get in on this recent trend...

@dushman Unsolicited software advice is actually one of my biggest pet peeves. Please delete it.
Why would you even think that a post being critical about Windows Debloat Scripts would solicit "Hey, this script is good tho I promise!"
It's like selling snake oil to someone trying to raise awareness of the pseudoscience behind snake oil.

@dushman also this wasn't an invitation for you to give me your software recommendations.

I'm not forcing you to use it. :sakaki_shocked:
Maybe someone will see it and find it useful.

@dushman I don't recommend running debloat scripts cause 90% of what people say about windows bloat know nothing about how services work
Dushman
@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
AME is legit and all their stuff is open source. Would recommend if you have to use Windows.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
When I was still using Win10 I used this to debloat it with the default preset.

I thankfully don't need Windows anymore, cuz it just gets worse with every major release.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
Whatever OS you're on, don't run random scripts without reading and understanding them lol.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world If you care so much about bloat, genuinely Linux is the better option for you. Yeah it absolutely is. I just had to use Windows before for things I couldn't get to run under Wine.
ivory
@dushman don't touch shit and don't run shit you don't know. As a security minded individual, Debloating Windows is one of the dumbest fucking things you can do.
If you care so much about bloat, genuinely Linux is the better option for you. I care very little about "bloat" and I even make fun of people who claim any sort of user enhancement they dislike as bloat yet I still use Linux on a daily basis.
And I enjoy my experience on Linux cause I don't give a shit about bloat.

@dushman oh you're just a dumbass.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
How is keeping your system lean a dumb thing? I do the same thing on my Linux setup and it's fast as fuck.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
On my hardware it wasn't slow even out of the box but I'd rather have more resources freed up for heavy things I might need to do
ivory
@dushman "I don't like this thing + my computer now runs slow, it must be the thing I don't like!"
ivory
@dushman they don't run unless you launch them, I don't know how you can think that they impact idle resource usage unless you're equivocating two things that have no correlation
Dushman
@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
I mean the home editions have fucking Candy Crush preinstalled. Stuff like Edge, windows media player, groove or phone sync was useless to me cuz I never wanted to use them in the first place. Modern Windows absolutely has a bunch of useless software out of the box.
ivory
@dushman telemetry sucks but you don't really know how "useless" stuff is until you have something that relies on it as a dependency hangs your entire system.
It doesn't really reduce idle resources, cause if you have a computer that was made with competent components in the last 10 years you should be more than fine.
Dushman
@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
Hmm? It's not snake oil though. Modern Windows has a ton of useless things and telemetry running out of the box. This worked best at reducing idle resource usage from my own experience.

There are mad people who put together a literal Windows 7 1:1 total conversion. If there were a debloated Windows 10 + one of those win7 total conversions then i'd consider reinstalling windows at least on the machine I use the least. Or i don't know, I could make one myself..

@dushman I used proton to run software rendered Half-Life over literal xfbdev. the autism never stops..
Dushman
@suonabera
I just use Wine/Proton these days cuz it's gotten really good lol
Enrico #MovimentoNOBloat :temple_os:
@dushman I tried that recently and it's legitimately ass, don't do it

Yeah but it wouldn't run Half Life
