Debotnetting Windows

I just installed windows today and I'm looking to go full debotnet on it. Can I overwrite my Intel Ethernet controller firmware to block Microsoft in my bios?

> Debotnetting Windows This is near impossible. Unlike ungoogled chromium (which is still soykaf anyways), the problems that Windows has is all the way down to the kernel level. On top of that, Windows is closed source so editing the kernel will be extremely difficult if not downright impossible. Nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck in this endeavour lain. Maybe take inspiration from Windows XP, before it all went bad. Make some comparisons.

>>20096 >Unlike ungoogled chromium (which is still soykaf anyways) Not OP, but why is ungoogled chromium so bad?

>>20097 the google services are such a huge part of chromium that stripping them out produces a third rate browser experience. you end up with all the soykafty anti-user changes that google adds to chromium, without any of the benefits of the google services. its also a constant uphill battle. google adds floc, they need to strip it. google adds manifest v3, they need to maintain v2. overtime ungoogled chromium will either collapse or have to maintain a totally different fork

>>20093 >Can I overwrite my Intel Ethernet controller firmware to block Microsoft in my bios? The whole networking stack is in the operating system. The only thing the firmware does is covert bytes in RAM to electrical signals on a copper wire and vice versa. You can run windows inside a virtual machine or put a non-windows physical machine between windows and the network and filter packets there. If you think you know all the domains and IP addresses that need to be blocked.
