I would argue it takes even longer to get a windows install how I like it. Even using Chris Titus Tech's tool, it probably takes 2 hours for me to install things like winget, steam, librewolf, libreoffice, blender and configure the task bar and lock screen. Not to mention how last time I checked, I could not rebind the windows key to trigger the app overview how I like it.
How often are you installing windows? I deploy probably 7-8 a week. I can have an image usable without telemetry in 10 minutes.
I seldom install windows, so I also have to relearn some things during the debloat. At 10 minutes, you are basically speedrunning the windows installation process lol.
That's not windows tho, that's setting up your entire fucking digital life to your satisfaction. The meme is about like, going to the task bar and telling Microsoft "no this isnt just a shitty gnome, please use my entire monitor"
For everything else just use winget-ui and install everything you want
How I want a windows install is "working, with no BS".
It comes out the box working, all I needed to do was disable Onedrive on boot. I haven't even bothered to change the background, and probably won't.
