Deleting old installs.

And upon taking possession of and then deleting them how aggressively the browsers I am using are collecting and maintaining files on me. It shouldn't take 40 minutes to delete browser files from an install that only lasted 2 months.

The 3 days of settings adjustments, debloating, de-spyware-ing, regestry edits, group edits, service edits, power edits just have a functioning OS that doesn't bottleneck/ruin your espensive hardware you paid for.

Web browsers are beginning to feel that way these days.

Meh Firefox is very customizable but not a ton of settings really for critical privacy, compatibility or optimization.

Chrome and all Google services can get fucked for just the amount of sites, pages, sub-accounts you have to navigate thru JUST to turn off their tracking bullshit.

I think I have my android and PC as fully isolated from any Google account, software, service or operation short of going full Root of phone and Linux. Which, Linux is on my todo list to go daily driver-Linux and 2ndary boot drive-Windows.

For now tho, local user Windows account and all google accounts and apps either un-installed or disabled on the phone.

Settings templates with user.js are Firefox's saving grace.

Best of luck on your 'nix journey.

Being unable to use local accounts without a ton of headache, and menus always trying to force you to use their services

Put my PC to sleep, then i go to sleep. 3am rolls around and my PC turns on and sits at the log-in screen.

This seems to be an issue only after windows 7 for me. It can't be updating because there's nothing happening when i check on the windows update, and it will do this all night until i unplug the damn thing. Then i get a couple months of this issue not appearing.
