Had a quick skim. Hmm, Teams, OneNote and Remote Desktop considered bloatware, gaming apps not. Not sure of the target demographic for this. Perhaps worth considering very carefully before running in productivity or office environments, assuming you have access.

I have to use that bloatware every day. Teams is pretty much the definition of it. I agree with the script.

Yeah, I agree. I think games do count as bloat generally, so should be removed by default. Maybe have a few more questions in the custom mode: - Remove Teams - Remove OneNote - Remove RemoteDesktop - Remove Games I would answer yes to all the above but Remote Desktop. A GUI with a tree view would be best for the custom mode. Then you can drill into the categories.

It also removes the Video player which is odd because like, I feel like that kinda should be built into an OS?

  No, no it shouldn't.

    Really? You think that a modern consumer/professional operating system, upon double-clicking a video, should do nothing? That's a thing that you would ship to an entire planet full of Regular People and say "Yes, this is the Right Thing. You should be happy about this result"

      This was exactly what the EU ruled way back, yes
      - Arainach 3y ago
        The EU government ruled that but no customer actually wanted it. The Windows N versions existed for legal reasons but that doesn't mean anyone bought them.

      This is about debloat. I don't want Microsoft's garbage utilities.

      Yes, exactly. A video player should be easily installed via the operating systems package manager.

        Rando: "Gud, why's there no video player installed? How do I get to play my video player?" Gud: "Just use the operating system's package manager." Rando: "What's that? How do I find it?" Gud explains what it is and how to find it. Rando: "Wow, finally found it. What do I do next?" Gud: "You search for a video player. Try [...]." Rando: "I can't find it. This sucks. Why is there no video player installed by default? Makes no fucking sense." Two hours later you've managed to achieve installation. Rando: "I don't like this player. I want a different one." Yeah. No. A video player should be installed by default. Period.

  Not as long as VLC exists.

  Yes, but the Windows one isn't great. Something about codec licenses and having to install extra stuff from the Windows store make it sub par now.

    I guess its nice that Linux and Windows can share a mutual frustration around shipping video codecs.
