From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

look into an LTSC build or Tiny10
instead of removing things, you'll be adding them
Tiny10 was infected IIRC, LTSC is not for me since it requires more tinkering than default Windows.
I haven't found any info about Tiny10 being compromised
LTSC will depend on your usage
if you rely on lots of Microsoft services then you'd be better with stock Windows
I agree! Microsoft services fits nice with stock. But still doesn't change stock is bad. But most of my friends and relatives (who use Windows) doesn't use Microsoft products (except core products like calculator) because they do not need it. The stock just comes with so many bloat, bad taskbar, telemetries etc... Some of them don't know how to debloat and tinker with system so they can't mess with it and leave it at stock, some of them knows and does every single step to go far away from stock.
Tiny10 compromise was a hearsay then. Thanks for your info.
I didn't understand what you mean by LTSC will depend on your usage. Can you explain it more?
