I decided to go with Linux media server + Windows 10 gaming HTPC but I've got one thing yet to solve.
As we know, MS stuffed Windows 10 with all sorts of "modern" default apps in an attempt to standardize the experience, but they all suck compared to better alternatives (Kodi itself, MPC-HC, foobar2000, and so on). I know it's possible to remove them and I have done so, but I still have a question. What else do I need to do to make Windows 10 as "barebones" as possible? MS used to allow a greater deal of customization back in the days of Windows 9x, nowadays they push all their crap on you.
