I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.

If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.

No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps

Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon

2-clicks to install Windows 11/10 without the third-party bloatware

You can block bloatware/partner/advertisement apps from cluttering up your fresh Windows installation by changing just one setting during the installation.

@beebles also if you want to still use the #Govware that is #Windows11 despite good #Linux like @ubuntu existing, feel free to give #Microsoft the finger and circumvent their #MicrosoftAccount requirement...

If you choose #Germany as location and #English as languague you'll even have less bs.
