Discontinued Simple tool to configure Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) which can configure network activity on your computer.
If possible, get Windows 10 Pro. It gives you access to the Group Policy Editor - not available in Win 10 Home edition - which is where you can turn off things like telemetry and auto updates.
That should help you get rid of most annoyances. You can manually clear out your start screen so that pressing the Win key just pops up your wallpaper and lets you type to search for programs and files.
Make sure to install WSL for an ubuntu environment that can interact with your Windows filesystem (via /mnt/). Almost everything in WSL functions as it would in a regular Ubuntu distro aside from some networking and GPU things.
ConEmu/Cmder for a pretty terminal to go along with WSL.
Xming for an X server that lets you run Linux GUI programs (I rarely find this useful though, seeing as GUI applications usually support Windows).
Everything search for an extremely fast file search that supports regex.
T-Clock Redux for a customizable time-date display.
Make generous use of virtual desktops! Relevant shortcuts are Win+Tab and Win+Ctrl+Left/Right.
Setting the taskbar to be compact with small icons will save you some vertical screen space. Works extra well with T-Clock.
