Make it clear that debloat scripts are not fully open source (OO Shutup) #1667

Closed Dani3I closed 4 months ago

Dani3I commented 4 months ago

Introduction In Tweaks section there are Recommended Selections. All of them (Desktop, Laptop, minimal) are checking the box next to OO Shutup. Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression but I would expect from open source enthusiast to make debloating script open source. Don't get me wrong, I understand that some non-open-source scripts may be better than what you are able to create (but tbh. I am still searching for fully open source debloat script) but I wouldn't expect that you would recommend to me script to debloat that is not open source without warning.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like, at least, when you hover over "Run OO Shutup" that it would display that OO Shutup is not open source.

Describe alternatives you've considered There might be additional indication, for example little asterisk next to "Run OO Shutup" and explained below that this script is not open source, what this script does (If I am not wrong OO Shutup have many options?), maybe why you trust it. This indication can also be done by changing color of text/background etc.

Additional context Section where you install software probably don't need that because people probably already know what they want and if it is open source or not (although little asterisk or other indication next to every non-open-source app might work) but debloating script is something that most people probably don't know how works and are resorting to recommended settings.

I don't know if you (@ChrisTitusTech) just didn't saw it yet and it was closed automatically or you saw it and decided to leave it to be closed automatically. Isn't 2 weeks too short (if there even should be time limit because I guess some issues might take very long to resolve)?
