Sorry if this is against community guidelines, but I couldn't find any rule that prohibits this. If there is any, please tell me, I'm open to remove the post.


Just randomly came across this one and it looked so good that I formatted my laptop (which runs windows, unfortunately for battery reasons) and did the set-up with this script. It is FOSS and very easy to use.

It can remove edge, cortana and other microsoft junk software, while being able to quickly install stuff, set-up profiles, etc.

It seems crazy. No updates and no defender, what could go wrong?

I don't understand why removing all that stuff for "light" then preinstalling a chromium browser for "privacy". For privacy choose Firefox. Or money was exchanged for having Brave as default?

Yes these kind of distributions of windows are extremely suspicious. I once saw one that added additional stuff to ISO other than stuff from guthub repo.

It is smart to inform yourself about the reputation and suspicious actions of something like this before installing it, maybe also try it on a vm first if you are in doubt

I don't understand the brave decision either but other than that i like how it is. Removing windows update is better because it often messes with software it shouldn't mess with. And you can reactivate Defender which i did

Removing/disabling Windows Update is never ever a good idea.

You can also reenable it if you prefer, could you please explain why it is bad?
