New Tool To Cut Down Windows 11 Bloat

This looks interesting. A comprehensive third-party open source utility (Sparkle) tested by Brite09 who tends to be pretty tough on Microsoft in general, particularly over Windows 11 and that which drags down the performance of the operating system. Particularly for gamers.

I know if I do install Windows 11, I'd appreciate anything that can comprehensively shut down functions like "copilot" and "recall", both applications that seem to amount to the ultimate in spyware. Being able to turn them off permanently would be a condition of my even using this OS.

Looks simple to use, yet goes over many aspects of Windows 11 unnecessary and even toxic for many users who cherish their privacy. Not sure if I'd use their utility to purge caches and things like that though. May be best to stick to native disk management tools which Microsoft offers.

There's an even better tool for that here: :)

Get Ubuntu | Download | Ubuntu

It's true. :cool:

Just about any Ubuntu-based Linux distribution is a better choice, even if Microsoft were to somehow get their act together and fix Windows 11 once and for all.

Knowing that Windows 10 users either pay Microsoft to extend security support for 12 months or be prepared to migrate elsewhere...Mac, or Chrome OS....etc..

Seriously- after October 14th, you don't want to be caught running Windows 10 without further security patches. I remember running Windows XP for a brief time well after end-of-life just to see what would happen. It got ugly. Luckily at the time I had "Spybot Search & Destroy" to bail me out!

I recently put Windows 10 on a temporary SSD and realized how extravagant and overdone it is compared to Linux Mint. Really emphasizing the term "bloatware". Far simpler to use in comparison without so many features and functions most folks probably don't use or understand.

Whatever OS you choose, don't wait for the clock to run out without a plan.

End of support for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 | Microsoft Windows

Download Linux Mint 22.2 - Linux Mint
