Telemetry isn't malware.
Telemetry that you can't disable is spyware. And spyware is malware. QED.
But you can disable it, by not using the software that includes telemetry. QED.
De-Bloated Windows 11 Build Runs on 2GB of RAM

Have you used other flavors? Tell me about Zorin? I'm on Ubuntu out of mostly momentum, but it's slow as hell. I've used Debian, Arch, and Mandrake in the past. I'm a web-dev so I need all my dev packaging etc to work predictably, a good terminal emulator, and ideally firefox. I love slim systems so I'd really like to trim some fat.
ZorinOS is a no brainer for me, especially as a web dev. It's got everything I need and more. Ubuntu was a horrible experience for me, from the UI polish to the general UX. Here's a comment from me on Reddit, on why ZorinOS is a better choice than Ubuntu: https://www.reddit.com/r/zorinos/comments/10qtzi4/comment/j6...
Installing now. Thanks for the response.

Performance is not the same as efficiency, and efficiency can't be solved with more hardware. Let's say I build a sorting algorithm that is O(N^2) complexity and works fine for small inputs (takes One of the corps I worked with went full scalability in their architecture. One-click deployments, dynamic scaling of servers, rebalancing of databases, automatic provisioning of storage. They were handling 40-50k requests…
I'm struggling to believe any single server could usefully service 2100k (well over 2 million!) requests per second. Even Google, with their vast farm of servers, reportedly only process less than 100k requests per second globally. I've certainly read of servers capable of handling in the order of 1000k requests per second as a benchmark, but the requests are usually pretty trivial (the one I saw literally did no inp…
Not serving, but handling 2100k requests. Your skepticism is rightly placed, as the HTTP protocol is yet an example of an inefficient protocol that nonetheless is used as the primary protocol on the internet. Some webservers[1] can serve millions of requests pr. second, but I'd never use HTTP in code where efficiency is key.
No, I'm talking about handling requests. In this particular case, requests (32 to 64 bytes) were flowing through several services (on the same computer). I replaced the processing chain with a single application to remove the overhead of serialization between processes. Requests were filtered early in the pipeline, which made a ~55% reduction in the work needed.
Requests were then batched into succinct data structures and processed via SIMD. Output used to be JSON, but I instead wrote a custom memory allocator and just memcpy the entire blob on to the wire.
Before: No pre-filtering, off-the-shelf databases (PSQL), queue system for I/O, named pipes and TCP/IP for local data transfer. Lots of concurrency issues, thread starvation and I/O bound work.
After: Agnessive pre-filtering, succinct data structures for cache coherence, no serialization overhead, SIMD processing. Can saturate a 32 core CPU with almost no overhead.

#414Not 11 but the "Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021" is significantly better if you want an (official) full fledged Windows OS without the bloat. I'm using that on the Steam Deck w/ dual booting and it's perfect
> "Not 11 but the "Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021" is significantly better"
What about Windows 11, does something like "Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC" exist also? Would that be equally good/debloated ?
Thank you for the tip btw!

Right-click menu on files missing all the actually useful stuff is a huge annoyance for me. I think there's some registry change that somewhat brings it all back, but IIRC it doesn't always give you the full menu anyway.
There is an Explorer Patcher tool on Github. It's doing pretty much great work for fixing Win11 issues!
Cool. Got a link?
