There’s a good one called Ubuntu.

Honestly I don’t know which projects are up to date, so I’m afraid to recommend what I vaguely remember. Search GitHub/Gitlab for “windows debloat” or similar concepts, and sort the results by date updated (e.g. the most recent comment). This is precisely what I’d do with a fresh Windows install, anyway. I disable Defender active protection (except for the firewall) as well, as it absolutely tanks the performance of many applications. As one example I measured, it multiplies the startup time for modded Rimworld, and dramatically slows game ticks. Most “debloaters” won’t do this, as it’s generally not a good idea. But I treat my Windows partition as disposable: nothing sensitive stored, no sensitive data accessible on drives nor networks, data on a separate partition. If it was infected, I could wipe it and reinstall without a care.
