you misunderstood the reference: "this" was meant to mean the recommendation in the parent post. I edited my post to be clearer.

concerning the intentional breaking of the windows updater and then using a third party update tool: such workarounds don't make the recommendation less bad. The question is: why break the onboard updater in the first place? And all those other features? Sure you have an alternative to office365 and to onedrive and live without the companion app is possible and happy, and maybe you even have a third party crl updater as well and a workaround for the side effects of blocking oscp.

But honestly if you want to replace everything because microsoft is bad and can't be trusted, then start by replacing the kernel.
