I don't know if I did something that most people don't, but I never had any of the stuff I deleted (one drive, the ads in the start menu, etc) come back after deleting them once right after install.

Nah, always came back after updates for me. Even when trying to remove from a fresh install. 🤷 Maybe M$ fucked up and forgot to push it to your PC?

Based on how everyone talks about it all coming back all the time, apparently so. Now I used a debloated version of windows for the few things that I can't get to work on Bazzite, so it wasn't there in the first place. Something to consider if you need windows for whatever reason.

I don't think I'll actually need to have windows installed ever again. I'm on Garuda linux (Arch based btw,) and everything I actually want to run, that doesn't have a native package, runs in proton/bottles/wine as good or better than in Windows. No regerts, and I'm not going back.
The only program that I felt tied me to Windows is Fruityloops. Runs better in bottles than it ever did on win10 or 11. There's a few VSTs I like that either just straight up don't work, or are temperamental in bottles. That said, I'm not wedded to any one synth or effect, and I firmly believe that restrictions foster creativity.
