In the old days I remember various custom (unofficial) builds of Windows XP etc. that stripped it down to basics. And then that scene went away as storage and cpu became plentiful and it was simpler to disable various annoyances through the official means.
But I hope that scene gets revived if/when they get rid of local accounts altogether, and this would be another thing that would make custom builds attractive again.
- jimmaswell 2y agoCustom builds still are popular to some extent, such as the options in Rufus to disable various things.
