i know about nsa backdoors and microsoft datamining even on win 7. but for the average consumer/non-criminal are there measures that one can take to minimise the privacy invasion? or its just completely fucked no matter what you do with it? ive been trying to go linux only but it's just so buggy even for basic shit like installing drivers, keeping a clean set of packages, basic net and office suite apps...
wondering if i should just go back to pirating windows 7 and office and running a strict firewall or something

Fresh Win7 SP1 install, only download security updates- no optionals, and no roll-ups
Also, you can use Ancile to automatically block known microsoft telemetry domains and uninstall updates that add spyware

get everything you need in there and block ads, telemetry and shitty trackers

The additional botnet features were bundled with security updates. You cannot use an up to date version of Windows and not be in the botnet.

Use Tron script to set it up.
It's a collection of scripts aimed to the setup stage, after installing the OS. Give it a spin, it doesn't takes much, and you start off with a good base.

The less bloated your system the less likely you have backdoors on it. Look for lite customized versions of Win7 which are renowned for being clean. Or go the embedded version route.
