      I would say you can on do that on Windows and Android, but it is not intended by the OS and you have to work around certain measures. Linux just lets you do everything, even if it is a really bad idea

        linux is fine, just don’t sudo under the influence.

        All of them are pushing generative AI that many users don’t want and you have to manually opt out on Windows and Mac.

        nah windows will not let you disable things like windows defender and telemetry, even if you have windows enterprise edition. It might be possible to delete it some of the bloatware, but it’ll just reinstall itself in an update.

      Do android system apps count as bloatware? Cause on GrapheneOS you quite literally start out with the bare minimum on a fresh install.

      I haven’t done too much in terms of messing around with system apps besides allowing/denying some permissions with Permission Manager X
