Privacy tool (lemmy.sdf.org)

so I started to see stuff on O&O ShutUp10++ that help disable most intrusive windows features, but it's closed sorce, wondering if they are any open source alternatives? Shutup10 ++

Guys: don't actually do this. Running stuff blindly on the command line from a URL without checking it beforehand is super risky and dumb.

So long as it's open source and I can read the code myself and enough people vouch for it I think it's more likely then not safe

Very dumb, check the second url I posted first and get the command line from there. Don't trust some random ass dude on Lemmy but I hope you'll see that I posted the same command as on the website

Your one of two person to said this, and it looks to be open source so might go with this

Give it a go, it's really handy for setting up new machines! I'm on Linux mint permanently now but I still use that for servers

All I do is play games and browse the web for the most part. Am I going to suffer compatibility issues if I switch to Linux? Also is Steam OS a solid choice for a Linux gaming distro?

Linux Mint has been great, you do run into some issues with games that have intense Anticheat, but for the most part the user experience is flawless. I don't know about steam OS, but with mint (and I think also for Ubuntu and pop OS) you just install steam, install the game from your library, and off you go it's just like Windows
