Anyone have any tips for building a windows box that can only talk to steam? I want a copy of the OS that never phones home to Microsoft, never updates, and doesn't even access the network other than to download from steam or stream to my local network. Maybe I can put it on an isolated vlan and only allow outbound connections to steam?

Basically yeah, look on reddit for tutorials on how to strip the cruft out of windows, and start with W10 LTSB rather than retail. Handling the comms blockade is best done on the edge and not the OS itself imo. Disabling windows update permanently is so beautiful, I love having a computer I can expect to work exactly the same way tomorrow as it did today. It's an incredible QoL improvement.
