I want to get off Mr. Gates' wild ride. Obviously I want telemetry gone, and I can probably figure that out myself. A brief search on how to get rid of Cortana is making me think I'm in for some bullshit. What should my checklist be for settings to change and stuff to get rid of?

The laptop isn't for me, it's for my little brother and will mostly be used for gaming, so linux isn't an option unfortunately.

I'm no gamer, but they say gaming in Linux has come a long way since steam entered the picture. Linux Mint or similar might actually be a good option.

Personally I think PC's suck for gaming, give me a game console. Apparently that view is sacrilege to gamers though.

It is better than it was, but is still a pain in the arse. Plus I don't think I have the patience to teach a kid how to use Debian.

PC is just way easier. I have a frontend set up with emulators for 20+ consoles and tens of thousands of games. My controllers are all automatically mapped to the consoles as soon as they are plugged in. It took a long time to pull it all together but it is so worth it.
