During the installation of maker can you select what modules to install or delete unneeded modules after the fact? A makers edge so to speak?

I just ordered a couple raspberry PIs including a zero just to play around with with the kids. Just wondering if you could strip maker edition back for better performance on limited resources.

Yes. You select the edition after picking what modules you want installed. & AFAIK you can remove modules from Maker after install just like any other edition.

Cool. Now for the hard part… deciding what to do with a 15 dollar computer the size of a stick of gum that I could connect to ignition.
