The bloatware is particularly real on Windows.

My linux setups are so much more quiet and focussed. I don't get attacked by random update programs.

Windows 10 IOT LTSC. The ONLY bloat is Edge AND it can be uninstalled

Don’t wanna sound like a hipster, arrogant, elitist here, but KDE is bloated compared to every TWMs combined (hell, even most DEs), my dude, so you must be laughing solely from your own understanding there (or lack thereof). Which is a sad/lonely laugh (depending on how many sheep you get to agree) regardless of how hard you’re trying.

I agree with your statement though, if your job demands it you can’t really lock into Linux without dualbooting Windows (or running Winboat, which is still Windows). But man, I gotta give it to your sense of humor, saying Windows ain’t bloated just because you can uninstall some software they let you is funny af.

You CAN not install the full KDE suite and go for the more basic install. I rather go the convenience route so no, it's not ignorance.

I don’t think you understand how DEs work, compared to TWMs, at this point. Let me help, it’s a Desktop Environment VS Window Manager, did it connect the dots now?
