I'm an old fart using Debian. My wife needed a new laptop, we bought an Acer Aspire 5. That thing was horribly loaded and invasive. Github found me BloateyNosy which, apart from making me think of Boaty McBoatface, actually did an excellent job of removing bloat. So much so, I haven't loaded Linux Mint for her. Will see how it goes.
