Chris titus has a nice tool which removes as much telemetry as possible. You can get rid of a considerable piece of telemetry in group policy editor, services and regedit.

Despite that, windows will never be as private as macos and macos will never be as private as linux.

You can't verify how private MacOS and Windows are, besides checking the network to see if they send data to a server, as unlike Linux they are closed source.

Yep, you can get most via the network and maybe sth in logs. Linux makes this quite easy tho

no, imho ameliorated cannot be recommended as it provides way too much risk as it removes almost everything. Definitely more than an open source script.
