Quote from: RobertJasiek on Today at 13:01:14IYO, what bloat remains after your (insufficient?) debloating efforts?
The fact that you have to do various kinds of workarounds to use local account on installation (
[email protected] still works in 24H2, tried it yesterday) is a forced bloat on its own. There is simply too much to list because everything not needed to operate is a bloat by definition. Tracking users' activities is a bloat; you can use ShutUp10++ and disable everything and W11 will still enable options on another update (literal bloat) so you have to disable them again just for some of them to still stay active (which you can verify with netstat -a and see what's calling where).

It can be turned off, it can't be removed so it stays there in the OS, thus again - literal definition of a bloat.

Yep, this. Or simply use Linux once the updated kernel is ready (and Qualcomm works on that). Until we see reviews this seems like a perfect Linux chip but far from perfect Windows chip, that alone says more about the OS than the chip though.
