Just figured out how to turn off Secure Boot a year after I dualbooted Mint with Windows 10, meaning I can now access Windows again.

Holy fuck its clunky and slow compared to Linux.

I'd like to keep it and learn more about it, but I'd also prefer to reduce the botnet as much as humanly possible.

Any good debotnetting guides for Windows 10 around?

Microsoft has people whose only job is to make the botnet impossible to disable. Those people are information security experts with decades of experience. They are 20 steps ahead /g/ neckbeards. The only option is not to use Windows 10.

Run it in a vm.
Use spybot antibeacon.
Use app-level firewall on a host to manually control internet access.

Why would anyone want an OS with a built in keylogger and a always on program that listens to you from the microphone?

Jesus downgrade to 8.1 it even looks better.

read the terms of use for your win 10, by the time your done you will be balls deep in a Gentoo installation, and will never look at another windows installation the same way again.

If you must use Win10, Spybot Antibeacon seems to work well. Also, 10 does seem to work really smoothly on recent hardware.

Looks like your shitpost was just that.

>>55756857
Try 8.1. Avoid Metro crap in it and install Classic Shell start menu. It's really pretty good. There's even Aero themes out there if you hate the flat look.

Tron script and Spybot Anti-Beacon seem great and reliable.

delete windows 10

You can't debotnet Windows 10, it's as simple as that. You have to block everything at hardware level and then go through the excruciating process of creating exceptions for everything you consider safe to access on the interwhoops. You'd have to be desperate to use Windows 10 to actually go to these lengths. All the available debotnet scripts and other software is placebo.
>>
>>55759009
>All the available debotnet scripts and other software is placebo.
Proof or GTFO. Wireshark running on a machine between the debotnetted Win10 machine and the internet says you're wrong.
>>
>>55759095
How does it say I'm wrong? Because your computer is not connecting to IPs that are registered directly to Microsoft? The situation is exactly as I said: unless you know every outgoing connection, your debotnetting is nothing but placebo.

its good software but has some weird fire monkey graphic on it I think that's what he means

It should produce no connections when idle, and only connections I request or can trace to software I ran, right?

anyone have that image where you have to set something to enterprise or basic instead of off to actually get it to turn off?

You can't turn it off

Just don't use it, problem solved.

Linux is better anyway, fuck MS.

8.1 is actually quite a nice compromise. It has most of the nice things 10 has, but almost none of the botnet. It has a nicer task manager, better memory management, fast bootup times, native ISO mounting, nicer copy dialogs, etc. But the only privacy issue you need to watch for is that it tries to get you to make an MS account at install time. Opt for a local account, then install Classic Shell start menu to avoid most of the Metro nonsense, and you have a nicer, faster 7 with a flat look.

>>55754424
Has anyone actually found a remotely helpful firewall tool that actually runs on the same machine? I mean installing something- peerblock, firewall, 3rd party tool- then actually testing the output externally?
>>
>>55760687

Comodo works well, but why not use a hardware firewall? That along with O&O Shutup and Spybot Anti Beacon takes care of it all.
>>
>>55762124
See that's not what I'm asking. Everybody throws around some claim or another, and nobody does any research to back it up. O&O is one of many almost identical tools that fiddle with settings to reduce telemetry but not eliminate it. Sure anybody could name a dozen firewalls, but as far as I can tell windows 10 just bypasses all of them as easily as it does a host file. So I'm asking if anyone has actually tested any application or rule set to actually confirm that it really does block internet telemetry completely or even close. And a hardware firewall is completely impractical for most people.
>>
>>55762174

So because you haven't looked hard enough, nobody has done any research? Nobody said the tools alone do that, but a linux-based router with iptables or similar is now "completely impractical"?

This is hillarious when people are advocating using a full-blown linux OS instead. You really should try spending more time researching than ranting.

>>
>>55762348
No that's the thing. LOADS of people have said there are tools alone that can do that. People left right and backwards are claiming you can firewall windows from within windows using assorted tools, firewalls, peerblocker etc, and for the life of me I can't find a reliable source of someone who has successfully tested any of it. I would love to find something like that. And yes, if it turned out a software solution did exist, it would be way more practical. It would be much easier for most people to implement and install on multiple PCs, it wouldn't require buying additional hardware, you wouldn't have to carry around some portable router with your windows laptop, and you could probably recommend it to newbs and grandparents who don't know jack shit.

Stop using Windows if you care.

Technically you're not wrong. If somebody doesn't have the skill to install linux or acquire compatible hardware they can always just not own a computer, or take any job that requires one. That's practical.
