Windows 11 Debloat tools

I vaguely remember either on PTIO or Privacy Guides that there were some recommendations on debloat tools. I'm wondering what people are using these days to achieve this?

For future installs, just get a copy of windows (10/11, depends on what you prefer) LTSC.

Comes with zero bloat preinstalled, it's refreshing
- LTSC by far the best way to use Windows, but W11 LTSC doesn't exist yet, It'll release next year source.
  
  I'll also suggest using a tool like Windows Privacy Dashboard to disable telemetry just in case.
  
  Windows Privacy Dashboard looks very interesting, I’m going to have to give it a go. Thank you!
  
  Does windows privacy dashboard interfer with like game anti cheat software? And other gaming related shit?

  You could just live boot a linux USB and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ;) 😂
  
  Lol, I've already got a fedora server and desktop, a debian home theater PC, and some sort of Linux running on an old laptop (I think it's Ubuntu right now - I use whatever the current project needs). No windows in my household!
I'm using something other than Windows. 🤷
- I wonder what it is

I used some config from the christitus winutil. The description and warnings are clear to understand.
This one is the best https://github.com/builtbybel/BloatyNosy
