Thank you! I think I’m gonna ride Win10 until it’s Jo longer supported, then go Win10 LTSC IoT until I’m comfortable switching all of my machines to Pop!. I play a VERY SPECIFIC 20+ year old Half Life mod with some folks that my Software Engineer friend has been unable to get working on Linux in any manner… so unfortunately I am tied to Windows. I could dual-boot but I don’t want any boot loader headaches, and our main machines exist pretty much solely to play games hahaha. I do debloat with OOSU10, I’ll scope Titus’s tool!
You’re SO not wrong about TVs being a complete privacy nightmare. No chance I’m letting em have ny WiFi info!
No worries. I understand. If you ever decide to dualboot, I’d highly suggest you separate the two OSs into their own SSDs, that way you won’t get any bootloader headaches at all. Whenever windows updates and takes over the bootloader, you get into your bios and change the boot sequence to boot into the Linux drive. From there you re-enable OS prober in grub, update grub, and boom you’re in. This is how I’ve been doing it to avoid all the bootloader headaches.

Excellent advice, thank you!
