I'm all for less bloat ware, but come one. The camera app or remote desktop are the least shitty ones. Its borderline to call them even bloatware.

To be clear, they seem to be saying that those apps will still be preinstalled. They'll just be easier to uninstall if you want to do so.
"option for the first time to uninstall the Camera app, Cortana app, Photos app, People app, and the Remote Desktop client. "
Does anyone want windows 11 at all?
Not seen a single new feature in windows I cared about since XP 64 bit.
It's better than 10 At least. I think to myself "I hate w*ndows" every 6 minutes while at work. Before the update it was every 5 minutes.
How about insta- crap and so on? Any idea to prevent it from having it in any new profile?
I ignore them. Since January 2022 I've used exclusively macOS & Linux and you can't go wrong with that. macOS for my daily driver work laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) and Arch Linux for my home server, though I do enjoy using it a lot for work and if this mac ever stops working I will definitely build a framework Linux laptop. Nothing comes close to FoSS, don't have to put up with most of this proprietary business-oriented software.
I use Arch (btw) on my daily driver too, but I recently switched to Mint on my server. Too much of a hassle to constantly update on Arch. Though I do miss the AUR.
They've known since all their other shitty windows. It's been ass since xp
I liked Win 7 and am still liking Win 10. That Win XP nostalgia isn't up to date anymore.
Yeah win7 is good, but god damn, I have windows 11 on my work laptop, FML. Are they just trying to turn it into the Mac os? Whyyyyyy, what have they done. I use to have to click multiple buttons just to do the normal right click properties. They fixed that, but I still can't stand it. I remember back when they released one of them after 7, doing everything to disable all the crazy services. Havnt bothered messing with that again though.
Aye. I think I'm going to avoid Win 11 as long as possible. Let's see what they make of it.
speak for yourself. I love XP and I'm super into vaporwave which has a huge following for nostalgia of that era.
Have fun. As long as you don't claim that XP is better than 7 or 10 you won't hear me complaining.
Tldr: Remote desktop, Cortana, camera, people app are all getting uninstall buttons.
Still just a small percentage of bloat on Windows and not even anywhere close to the privacy invading bloat
