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

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
AME is legit and all their stuff is open source. Would recommend if you have to use Windows.

@dushman I don't recommend running debloat scripts cause 90% of what people say about windows bloat know nothing about how services work

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

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world
I'm not forcing you to use it. ​​
Maybe someone will see it and find it useful.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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.

@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

@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

@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.

@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 literally yesterday I made an entire openbox setup with 300 total packages just to make fun of this dumb as rocks sentiment that shit needs to be lean to be good.

@dushman IF YOU'RE FAILING TO GET SHIT RUNNING UNDER WINE, DEBLOATING WINDOWS LIKELY WOULD ONLY HURT YOUR CAPABILITIES TO RUN IT IN WINDOWS YOU DUMB FUCK

@dushman yeah but compiling on windows is rather aids for the end user so nobody is gonna do it except for people who use Linux.
