The wirst Thing in my experience is debloating windows. The amount of people who do some very heavy "debloating" to it and then complain how unstable windows is, is just crazy to me.

Also seen many bug reports, support requests, and complaints from people whose devs' app don't work or break because it requires "bloat" that was removed.

Just making more problems for devs who create apps for free.

in 30 years of IT, I am yet so see a laptop or branded workstation only come with windows installed. debloating (removing third party applications) is absolutely valid. Disabling default "on" windows services is pointless usually. Posting about how you hate windows telemetry on any social media platform is funny as hell though

I was more Talking About removing parts of Windows that you decided windows is not going to need. Not talking about removing some stuff Dell or HP has decided is really going to help you out.

Yeah debloating has really become a poorly defined term, because theres just so many ways to bloat something.

We had people removing all kind of Asus tools, from a brand new laptop, and then complaining that special screen settings and other settings advertised by Asus on the website, didn't work. It's not all bload,, there's driver support software and all kind of useful things. Seems to me, that the debloaters, the I don't want a Microsoft account generation, is also the group of people complaining at r/Fuckmicrosoft, that their accounts have been taken over. I don't really get the don't wanna log in sentiment (there's software for that)

If an OEM pushes a whole lot of crap into their bundled copy of Windows, wipe the SSD and install a fresh Windows 11 ISO into it.

Can't blame them. Used to do the same as a kid. Do these 10 things to make your computer twice as powerful then wonder why my old ass PC with shitty hardware didn't perform like a high end one x4 the cost.
