some months ago i realized i no longer have to go grab my gpu drivers from a website or 'fresh install essentials' backup usb
my current windows box is about a week old, and it occurred to me the other day that i didn't even have to go in and do little things like enabling the viewing of hidden files, or displaying file extensions 100% of the time etc - alot of these settings are attached to your microsoft account, if you choose to use one.
haven't tried to debloat it yet, as someone else mentioned the script you used last time might not work this time, but a decent way to make it somewhat tolerable is using classic shell to make the start menu far, far more appealing
i recently fully switched over from using ninite to using chocolatey. so far i have yet to find an application i need or want that choco doesn't have
also - and i really must beg forgiveness here - that new windows terminal... it ain't half bad... but mintty/wsltty are still the goto's for interacting with WSL
my choco install -g essentials:
firefox
speedfan
steam
vscodium / atom
ffmpeg / vlc
autohotkey
etcher
simplenote
irfanview
winamp / foobar / picard
