- Amelabs Privacy+: https://docs.amelabs.net/privacy/_plus.html
I use a Windows VM for apps not available on Linux and just want to cut out all the telemetry possible.
AtlasOS is installed as a Ameliorated Playbook and makes a ton of opinionated changes that aren’t privacy or necessarily performance related. Disabling the Windows 11 right click menus in favor of the legacy one, disabling window shadows, changing the wallpaper, etc. Privacy+ looks appealing, I wanna know if anyone has tried both and can tell me differences, like if one or the other improves privacy more.
Use the chris titus tool to configure base windows for privacy. For extras, edit the hosts file/prefably use a network-wide filter blocking tracking domains.
Or…you can skip all that and install linux.

re-read the post.
oh.
for that, i recommend cutting internet access of the VM off and only giving it files via a shared folder that’s RO to windows
