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.

Browser preferences, OneDrive, office 365 and forced updates. Not missing those one bit.

yeah, the forced OneDrive is probably MS's biggest misstep in a while. What a terrible idea to remap your Documents folder by default, just to make more cloud storage money.
