I have recently been using BloatyNosy at my IT job when setting up new Windows 11 PCs.
It's a lightweight little Windows 11 debloater. It's just a simple UI with checkboxes to modify and run a powershell script. Just in case anyone is looking for a FOSS alternative. The link that you posted looks similar, but it doesn't appear to be open source.
Yeah it's the same thing, it just runs registry entry scripts based off toggle switches. I guess it's not FOSS, but it is freeware. I've had a good experience with it so far. The toggle switches are nice because it gives you a handy visual reference of how much Windows overwrites your settings to turn all that shit back on during meaningless updates. I'm convinced that some of their updates don't do anything except turn all their tracking back on and push an ad of sorts in your face.
