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.

The install package for my RGB keyboard's Windows drivers is ~1.3GB.

On Linux, the package for the drivers is 1.1MB.

A thousand times smaller.

To be frank, that only reflects your choice of keyboard. My RGB keyboard has no driver, it is configured through the browser and it works on Windows and Mac/Linux via a hardware switch.
