I primarily use Linux and boot into Win 10 as needed. That said, what's worse about 11? Never used it.

  • Baked in advertising and telemetry.
  • Resources hog.
  • Desperate attempts to get you to use Edge.
  • Decides to auto install bloat for you and continues to do it throughout its life cycle, like their AI cooilot and Dev Home.
  • Fresh installs are filled with bloat incl services.
  • Decides that it knows what you want to do better than you.

My laptop just had a hardware failure and I'm borrowing my partner's and had to uninstall the same bloatware 2-3 times today on a new profile (literally shit like ads for software downloads, solitaire and the MS Office extended universe). The rage is real. I usually use tools to strip windows if I need to use it, but I can't on this one.

Here is the tool I use. It's a 10/10. https://github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools
