    your OS can have whatever you want with however much bloat you want

    No, it can’t, because you can’t remove the bloat, dummy, that’s the entire point of the problem. People wouldn’t care if they could just remove the bullshit.

      You want a Linux install to take up less RAM? Install a lightweight distro like Endeavor or regular Arch and go with an absolutely minimal build.

      You want that with Windows? There are ISO’s that have Cortana and other preinstalled bloatware already removed, etc. Or you can do the same with PowerShell post-install.

      The more I hear Linux purists talk the more it’s clear their knowledge of windows is either incredibly basic with no attempt to actually learn or fifteen years out of date. Usually both.

        Linux purists lmao, keep arguing with a strawman. Downloading untrusted ISOs is not a solution to bloat ware, and if those powershell commands really worked like you purport, people wouldn’t be complaining.

        You can’t will yourself into being right, just because you want there to be a magic solution that makes Windows not bloated shit doesn’t mean it exists.
