The best way to debloat Windows is to switch to Linux. I think that GNOME3 is now more polished than either Windows or Mac, and 95% of Windows games just run out of the box through Proton.

I rather suggest Win 11 LTSC. The Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC supposedly:

- doesn't have the tpm requirement

- no copilot, recall, edge browser, ms store

- allows local setup

- no feature updates, only security

- built-in options to disable telemetry

Keys go for $300 in some stores, or, one can use an activation emulator, or massgrave.

Scripts can be good for one-time use, but it's swimming against the current. As soon as you stop swimming, the current wins. With the LTSC, you don't swim against the current, but rather choose a different current. In its case, it's MS themselves who provide the debloating.

Personally I gave up a long time ago and just installed Debian Linux. But it’s wild to me that the average non-technical/casual windows user has to put up with so much bs… it’s an atrocious ux

I tried all of these debloating scripts a couple of years back but nowadays I just stick with LTSC
