It asks us to download the Windows ISO from its website not from Microsoft website. So, it's a NO for me.

The iffiest part is sharing a MS Office license key.

The post fails to mention any overview on what kinds of "debloating" the scripts are supposed to do.

https://ntdev.blog/2024/01/08/the-complete-tiny10-and-tiny11... is not their website.

They are just blogging about how they used it.

Like some more reputable site also did:

https://www.xda-developers.com/tiny11-hands-on/

Maybe use that to make up your mind, in spite of the ISO not coming from MS.

Which btw. links to other alternatives like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat , which does not have the unknown ISO source problem, and a wiki explaining which does what, and how to revert it, just in case.
