    I simply run this Powershell script once on a fresh install of Windows 11 and don't have to deal with any annoyances even after updates.

    https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat

    I daily drive MacOS, Windows 11 and Linux Mint on different devices and Windows doesn't particularly bother me post de-bloating, and it easily has the most reliable multi monitor / variable DPI support of the three in my experience.

    Project mention: Redirect Out-File to TestDrive: in your PowerShell Pester test scripts with this one weird trick | dev.to | 2024-10-19

    I was writing some Pester unit tests recently for a PowerShell script that creates a modified version of a template file before it is then uploaded via an API and deleted. The script uses Out-File to output the updated file and because it only exists temporarily the location it writes to is hard coded in the script.

    Project mention: TomWright/dasel: Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-18

    PowerShell[0]'s built-in Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility[1] module has commands to convert from/to JSON[2], CSV[3], a version of XML[4], or custom key/value pairs[5] into objects, which can then be manipulated. Combined with IO cmdlets such as Get-Content[6] and Set-Content[7], a fair chunk of flat-file storage should be able to be made mutable with PowerShell.
