Windows privacy: AtlasOS vs Amelabs Privacy+? (lemmy.world)

AtlasOS: https://atlasos.net/
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.

Never heard of either. The gold standards are BloatyNosy by builtbybelle and privacy.sexy. Anything claiming to promote privacy and is closed source shouldn't be trusted.
