Really Microsoft? Instagram, Tiktok, Disney+. Installed by default on Windows 11.
Use LoveWindowsAgain from GitHub to easily uninstall all bloatware + some other neat tweaks. It's also extremely easy to use.
- Do you guys think the amount of bloatware / advertising is getting unreasonable? I found this in the clock app.
- Upgrading to Win11 was my mistake
-
Bought a new laptop and witnessed Microsoft edge beg for its life once again
I have used this a few times without issues to disable telemetry/tracking/bloat. The dev also has a tool for Win10 users called Privatezilla, just throwing that out there in case anyone on W10 is reading this..

What privacy enhancment script/app for Windows 10 is recommended nowadays?
I would only feel comfortable suggesting Privatezilla because it is open source. With OO ShutUp10++ you are installing software that tampers with your system and there is no way to understand how it works or if it's doing anything malicious. Privatezilla is also still maintained, as a matter of fact, they just released a big update code named Pollux that integrates LoveWindowsAgain which is a Windows 11 utility to disable various stupid things in Windows 11. I would also recommend what u/domsch1988 suggested, and use winget to uninstall anything else you don't 100% need.

Windows 11 now comes with its own adware
Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based).
The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root filesystem is read-only, and you use "pet" containers (on docker, podman, whatever) to do your work in. Applications are either sandboxed via Flatpak, or installed/run inside your pet containers. If your pet container dies, you cry about it for a moment, and when you're ready you get a new one - your actual os and other containers remain unaffected.
I use distrobox[1] to create/run the pet containers.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Distrobox is a tool that enables us to try Linux distro CLI, including their package manager. This requires a containerization tool (e.g., Docker). In Windows, this can be achieved using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- Distrobox: Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.
You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

Operating System?
Yes, you can do that but I've seen others use something like distrobox to run linux inside of SteamOS: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/steamdeck_guide.md

How much will I screw up my system after installing Merkuro Calendar (KDE Akonadi application), formerly called Kalendar, on GNOME?
For such cases you might use something like this: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #3: Depending on what the user is trying to accomplish, e.g. maybe to make WSL(2) itself more of a "subsystem" than a "container engine", using something like Distrobox or nsbox.dev can be a good idea (along with Docker or Podman in Distrobox's case; the other one uses systemd-nspawn).

Cannot run containers with Distrobox
1. Find here in "Containers Distros" section the distro image that you want to install ("Toolbox" versions are better because they are configured for Distrobox) and get it URL: https://distrobox.it/compatibility/#containers-distros 2. Use that URL to create Distrobox: distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 -n fedora_1_39 3. Enter Distrobox fedora_1_39: distrobox enter fedora_1_39 4. You are already in Distrobox console. Look at the name in console, it should be include the container name. 5. To exit Distrobox: exit 6. If you run: distrobox list you will see all distroboxes on the system. You will also see that distrobox that we exited is still running. 7. To stop distrobox use commands: distrobox stop fedora_1_39
