Ameliorated was designed to cut the spyware out (depending on the playbook) rather than add more, but I might’ve missed your /s?

hm, seems to be FOSS, I thought this was one of the many “debloat” scripts with binary blobs. Does it come with EXE files?

That makes sense. As far as I know is no, unless you count the opt-in installers where you can pick from when running a playbook. Other than that, it’s all rather useful scripts. With the new update you can even edit ISOs before installing them, which I think is cool

You can ameliorate a turd all you want. It still remains a turd.

Very true. My hardware doesn’t support Linux (yet, hopefully) so I’m kind of stuck

They were writing about external peripherals but tbf there are a lot of certain hardware scenarios where linux is objectively worse mainly due to proprietary hardware that either wasnt super popular, is a pain to reverse engineer, or both. Some samsung laptops, razer, the apple t2 laptops (though the apple silicon got much better support with asahi), etc
It’s not Linux’s fault, laptop manufacturers keep utilizing proprietary hardware that is completely undocumented and increasingly actively makes efforts to “protect users” from being able to install things (hp uefi locks, apple SIP, ms tpm nonsense, etc)
You don’t own your shittttttt even if you pay like 4 grand for itttttt

I was talking about external hardware such as peripherals. Stream Deck for example doesn’t quite work on Linux
