I'm planning to build a PC with Windows 11 and I've heard a lot about the bloatware that comes with it. Some of the pre-installed apps sound important, but I've read that many can only be removed through the terminal, which makes me worried about messing things up. Can anyone provide guidance on what I should remove, along with any necessary commands for both terminal and PowerShell?

Check out Chris Titus Tech's CTT WinUtil on GitHub! It's a great script that can help you remove bloatware and manage other settings effectively. Just make sure to read the descriptions for each option so you know what you're removing.
For a solid debloating tool, I recommend the Raphire Win11 Debloater. It provides detailed info about your computer and allows you to select what you want to remove. It's super handy! Good luck!
Definitely use Chris Titus Tools! It's super reliable for cleaning up junk. Just be careful to read each option you choose to target the right apps. You don’t want to accidentally delete something important!
If you're looking for an easier route, you might want to consider Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC. It has less bloat by default, which might save you a lot of hassle when setting up your new PC.
If you're fed up with Windows, just ditch it for Linux Mint! I’ve almost forgotten what Windows is like, and I don’t miss it at all. But if you must use Windows 11, use those debloater tools to clean it up first.
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely check out those tools before making any major changes.
