      If you do this and then later you face some sort of issue with Windows, remember that it might not be Windows’ fault.

                Oh you mean for personal use… I manage a mixed environment with about a thousand Windows workstations and 300 Windows Servers, about the same amount of Linux servers.

                At home I only run Windows for Ableton Live cause VST plugins don’t work on Linux :(.

                    Unfortunately a lot of our core tools don’t have supported linux client software, SCADA clients and power flow/transmission grid simulation etc, but we also aren’t a business so it’s more about what gets the job done since we’re basically mandated to do what we do.

      I’ve used Startup Delayer for ~15 years. Not perfect, but it really helps manage startup processes.

      There’s plenty of powershell scripts to “reclaim windows” etc. I was a sysadmin in mixed environment for 15 years and Windows Enterprise you can disable all the creepy features on. This was critical infra environment with explicit firewall rules for everything and no traffic from the end user that didn’t go through our proxies.
