Since Linux does not seem to work on my laptop (I have spent hours trying to find a fully functioning distro, it doesn’t exist yet for Snapdragon), I am curious if there are different things I can do to keep Windows from tracking all of my shit.
I know that’s impossible but minimizing it is desirable for me, at least. I don’t want CoPilot, I don’t want advertisement pop ups, anything like bloatware I fucking hate it, as we all do.
So pls let me know what you do to minimize this shit. Apps, things I should uninstall, settings I should change. If I have step by step instructions I’m not afraid to use command prompts since I got a little bit of experience with that while trying to install Linux.
Thank you all in advance for helping this luddite
I’ve always used the win11debloat script instead.

As far as I can tell they do pretty much the same things.
Winutil also provides a graphical interface to winget, I see winutil as more of a graphical utility program rather than a script.
I don’t like graphical package managers either.
Any particular reason that you use one over the other, or did you just stumble across that script and just kept with it?
I’ve been a linux/Unix guy my entire life so I just prefer a script that really only does one thing over a full GUI application that tries to do a whole bunch of things.
