i restarted my computer and saw my ram hovering somewhere between 8 and 9 gigs so finally decided it was time to remove the bloatware, but didnt want to risk running any debloat scripts in case they broke my pc later down the line. i spent like an hour looking for things to uninstall and after restarting my pc my ram usage is down to 5.4 gbs and my cpus is down to 0-1% from 4-5%.
sidenote: i disabled the taskbar widgets but they still seem to run in the background anyways. anyone know how to actually remove them?
