How to Disable Telemetry Across Windows and Popular Applications (reddthat.com)

Are there any open-source tools that allow me to disable telemetry for Adobe, Windows, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, GitHub Desktop, Docker Desktop, VS Code, and other applications? How can I disable telemetry and enhance my overall Windows experience?

I’d switch to Windows but I don’t want to use an OS that requires digging through shady online instructions and running random power shell scripts in order to stop it from spying on me until the next update.

I disabled telemetry on Linux(Arch, btw) by not installing enshittified corporate spyware masquerading as an operating system.
