I just got a new laptop (ASUS).
Seems like a simple question but how should I set it up to optimise privacy, security and hardware lifetime?
Are there guides available?
I mean there are some obvious things such as run a VPN, remove bloatware, privacy settings, tracking blockers, etc.. What else am I missing?
Also, could Windows play up if I go into Command Prompt and force uninstall all their bloatware like 'Xbox', 'Twitter', 'People', etc..

save as a batch file and run this if you're using Windows 10, or just install Linux.

I thought reddit fags use macs?

Thanks, what I'm worried about is Windows might build in some feature which will adversely affect my computer to spite me for uninstalling.

Not an option in this case.

None of these are installed on my LTSB Enterprise Edition :^)

I don't have much of a choice. That said, I don't have anything to hide from the 5 eyes.
