1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Actually, no need for de-bloat scripts, a lot of those break more than they fix.

    O&O shutup 10, simplewall, And I think O&O makes something like "AppBuster" or something for getting rid of stubborn metro apps.

    Also...don't disable windows updates, delay feature updates by 365 days, delay quality updates by 30 days and install security updates right away. If you don't have windows 10 or 11 pro, there's a program called "policy plus" Britec09 also has a guide for "how to only install security updates in windows 10" the guide also applies to windows 11

    Why use debloat anything... scripts or apps, regardless. Why not just use LTSC? It's debloated by default. No MS Store, no Metro Apps, just the Settings one (it has to have that), everything else is pretty much standard for Windows.

    You mean windows 11 lite? I don't know if you've heard, but the publisher that makes that might be doing something nefarious with that OS. Even more insidious than what can easily be disabled in the official windows 11 and 10

    No, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. It's an official release, no debloating required. It's how Windows was like, before 10, it only receives security updates, no new features, it's stuck in time feature wise.

    Google a bit for LTSC (it was LTSB for the 2016 release, Long-Term Servicing Branch, they changed the Branch part to Channel in the 2019 and 2021 releases).

    Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC is coming this year. September, most probably.
