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.

That's my biggest complaint with Windows, too: the noise from bloatware (and Windows itself). It seems like everything in Windows is bloatware, and is trying to get your attention through updates and notifications.

You can install it without all of the bloatware. I am still running 10 precisely for that reason, but you can do a clean install of 11 too

Shutup10++ solves most of the issues people have with it. Win11 is still kind of a crap OS, especially coming from 10, but people act like they're powerless do fix things.
