    1. What are your Windows 10 post-install and crap removal procedures and recommendations?

      • I have an AMD processor that is not supported by Windows 11.
        • I don't wanna deal with the consequences of workarounds.
      • I have an old NVIDIA graphics card that was never even close to being a flagship. It is essentially unsupported on Linux (I’ve tested it).
      • I intend to keep running Windows 10 for as long as possible, using either official or unofficial means.
      • My current Windows installation is becoming unmanageable, as Windows often does.
      • I am a competent Linux user, and I run Linux on my laptop.
        • I have WSL2 on Windows 10 and it is great. Especially because I am a heavy Emacs user. I cannot live in an OS that does not allow me the full power of Emacs over a Linux base. This greatly reduces the need for bare-metal Linux.
        • One reason to keep running Windows (at least in a dual-boot setup) is that WoW runs at around 30 FPS on Linux for me. Other games have different issues.
          • I often run games from shady origins that are not obtained from Steam and tools such as Lutris and Bottles are just not there yet in terms of ease of use. I don't enjoy doing a lot of work just to play a game.
        • I understand that there are ways around almost any issue on Linux; I just don’t have the energy right now.

      Any suggestions for post-installation cleanup and removing crap from Windows 10?

      Thanks!
