Everything I need is configurable through PowerShell for years. Why bother with UI? Win 7, 10 or 11 - it's all the same.
Can it list available settings that could be changed, because if so it is an almost perfect replacement for the settings app?
Get-Command

Because I don't have all the commands to do everything memorized. Also powershell versions and compatibility / features have changed a lot over the years.
Not to say that Powershell is a bad thing in any way, it is quite useful for the stuff I do at work. But it is a mess just like the rest of MS.
Yeah I've been a mixed environment sysadmin for many years and still to keep need a Windows desktop at home and powershell makes it all happen. I basically do a complete debloat of my install and and all that. I actually like the overall Windows 11 desktop environment but omg the bloatware is insane I don't know how people use it without knowing how to clean it up.
Enterprise editions don't have bloat, no need to do much :)
Very true! Enterprise iso and MAS and basically done. My previous builds have mostly all been Enterprise edition and I'd definitely go that route if I knew 11 was gonna be so bad. A part of me was curious after hearing so much hate, and I didn't mind learning how to remove it all because I could see it coming in useful for helping others, it was a good way to get exposed to all of it and I found some helpful tools I can send to people now.
