    All those supposed “popups” you can disable. “Bloatware” you can uninstall and are added by the laptop manufacturer not Microsoft, and “advertisements” only happen once on a fresh install.

    Almost like those supposedly tech savvy people don’t know what a setting is.

    It is fine if you prefer Linux over Windows, but don’t go about just straight up lying about it.

      Candy crash in start menu along with a thousand other ads, inabiltiy to delete internet explorer and cortana until recently, asking to buy microsoft365 after every update, constant telemetey and tracking with no option to opt out completely, and so on.

      maybe people shouldn’t have to do all that to use the system they paid for without being bombarded with ads

      just a thought 🌈

      Even if you know windows and all those settings, windows pushed updates that add popups and bloatware.

      So you don’t have a choice even if you do disable it uninstall things

    That last part, what a waste.

    A local school near me replaced the computer suite with new machines and just left the old ones in a big cage outside to rust. Something about being “too expensive” to properly dispose or recycle.
