Are you experienced enough to gut the OS until you can live with a working Win11?

In my experience, the creeping takeover is very real but my knowledge of how to circumvent it is also real. If you can, even with effort, nullify the 'shared experience' - it may be a good OS.

Win10 takes three days work to turn off all the shit that reports back. It can be done. Is 11 the same or is it a lost cause>?
