Hey /g/
University gave me a laptop with windows 10 and since I can't change it what bloatware should I delete. How do I tweak this thing to be better

Remove-AppxPackage

Is it your belonging now or does it still belong to the university?

I'm going to assume it is the Uni's as you say you can't replace the OS, in which case I'd say don't replace a damn thing, just use it for your school work and be done with it.

Change it, when they want it back, install a cracked version. They do full wipes and re installs when they get it back anyways.

it's a loan from university but I guess I can do whatever I want with it as long as I give it back in a working state

This is the correct answer. You don't want to do any personal stuff on a computer that has god knows what uni spyware installed. Use it for school stuff and your own laptop for everything else.

Basically this if you're full > muh botnet
As long as Win10 is running on the metal there's little you can do to have a private workspace.
Sure, you can debloat it and tweak the privacy settings, there are a lot of settings you should look out for. Consider the possibility that the university may be checking up on your machine, either physical or long distance. Sure, that chances are practically zero they're doing this, but it pays to keep it in mind, depending on how paranoid you are.
As long as you don't fuck it up and keep it for school work, you should be ok.

you don't need a good laptop if you run gentoo. its not like you can do anything useful with it anyways.
