Set it and forget it.
I've always used the win11debloat script instead.

As far as I can tell they do pretty much the same things.
Winutil also provides a graphical interface to winget, I see winutil as more of a graphical utility program rather than a script.
I don't like graphical package managers either.
Any particular reason that you use one over the other, or did you just stumble across that script and just kept with it?
I've been a linux/Unix guy my entire life so I just prefer a script that really only does one thing over a full GUI application that tries to do a whole bunch of things.
Damn that's it?? Amazing.
It also doubles as a software manager so there's no need to go onto the internet and download all the software you need individually.
GNU/Linux already has this but now its ported over to windows
it doesn't exist yet for Snapdragon
What laptop is it? Linux works great on ARM chips, such as basically all android phones, tablets, etc. There's a number of distros like postmarket which are designed for arm phones and laptops.
It's very possible you're right and there's no port yet, but you might be surprised. Most of the popular distros are only really designed for x86.
Linux support on snapdragon in particular is really bad. It's starting to get there but it's still not reccomended if you need your laptop to actually work 100% of the time.
Microsoft surface 7. I spent a bunch of time checking out forums and such. It looks like Arch supports it, I think, and you can get it to work on Ubuntu but a bunch of stuff does not work for it. The keyboard (I think), Bluetooth, volume. I am not computer savvy anymore so I don't wanna fuck with Arch. I don't even use the touch screen so I could care less about that but keyboard usage would be nice lol.
Someone in another post suggested trying puppy Linux but I havent seen any documentation anywhere saying that my laptop would support it
Damn yea tricky, looks like mainline linux patches only landed a few months ago so it'll probably be a while until there's actually good distro support.
will be waiting impatiently for it to roll out. I know it's all volunteer based, so I am grateful for folks who are working on it at all. I also stupidly bought a new oneplus phone, not realizing how much time it takes to roll out new operating systems and such. I was so stoked to switch to LineageOS or whatever but alas, I am stuck with Google for a while
