I don't use windows unless it's for work, but I'll use https://windowsxlite.com/

I have no idea if they can be trusted but my notebooks run great. I just don't store any personal information on it.

I love/hate their website. It reminds me of early 00 warez sites, but, as you say and testers report, it does a good job debloating and speeding things up. I'm so fed up with windows at this point I'm not sure a slimmed down and or privacy focused windows install will cut it. I'm this close to taking the dive and going to daily driving Linux.

See my comment above yours, its really such a refreshing Windows experience, it feels like the good old days.

I used to be an xlite fan, but have since discovered 11 IoT Enterprise LSTC. massgrave.dev

Same idea of bullshit free, but more stable and straight from M$, themselves. Defender and Edge ONLY.

Then install StartAllBack on top of that. Everything feels sane, and snappy and back to sanity.

I did windows 10 ltsc for a very long time but I dropped eventually because I was tired of having issues with my video card and random unexplained crashes with vague event viewer info they no one had find reliable fixes to. Mass grave seems super nifty though, saving that link, maybe I give 11 iot a try but I'm feeling pretty burnt
