Thanks for sharing the tip! It was hard for me to weigh the pros and cons based on the article. Some questions that you might want to answer in the blog post to make it more useful: - Will it make my computer noticeably faster? Or just the Windows startup? Or reduce the memory consumption? Or just simplify the UI? ("bloat" is not well defined) - How much disk space can I expect to get back? - How do I know if it will remove something that I find useful? - If I run the command, how can I revert it later? How can I install a package back?

I mentioned this in the article but should probably emphasize it: I strongly recommend using a virtual machine, running it, and then trying it out and seeing how well it works for your use-case. If it works well for you, then use it on a fresh install. I never recommend using it on an existing installation. Ultimately, I don't know what apps you need or use or what features you need - so, trying it on an old computer, or in a VM, will best answer your question.
