Hey thanks for this it's way more faster just some little things i can't get access to newer e-mails on build-in app and discord wont launch and that's all. i'm gonna check what's wrong then. Ok so, i checked for that problem just re-enabled every network linked services such as DHCP, networkproxy's and that worked

Hey there! Love the script, but I am getting errors from Sonoma: "Boot-out failed: 3: No such process" on many of the executions during the script... not clear which ones, since there's no output, but wanted to let you know. I still want to disable all of the bloat services I don't need so any help would be appreciated!

“Boot-out failed: 3: No such process” is returned if the process was not running when the script/bootout command was run. If you run the script a second time, all should return “Boot-out failed: 3: No such process”.
I’ve added echo "${agent}" and echo "${daemon}" before the launchctl bootout commands to see what agent/daemon is being processed.
