I’ve just seen someone describe Windows 11 as a “sloperating system”.

@erkhyan I stripped all the slop out on the Windows 11 systems in my household (three - all work-related) and they're running fine now. I do have to keep my eyes open for any return of the slop, though.

Interestingly, my centrally managed work laptop with Windows 11 does contain some of the slop I just evicted from my private machines. You would think IT would make sure that the slop wouldn't be present in an OS that is used in an environment with more or less confidential information.

@ElBeeToots

Given that much of the OS code itself is now slop, I question whether anyone can actually strip out all the slop.

@erkhyan

@hosford42 Unfortunately not, of course. But I meant at least things like Copilot and other stuff that I don't want.
