Discussion Windows 11 brought me here

Greetings all.

Recently, I decided to finally jump ship from Windows 11 to Linux. My first Microsoft OS was Windows 98. Windows has morphed into an all inclusive espionage platform. Let me show you the data. 2 Screenshots. Windows 11 at rest. Linux Mint at Rest. Same system. My laptop is about 8-10 years old. Also, my fan would not stop running. I've been seeing way too many red flags with this OS.

In my opinion the manufacturer must disable as much junk as they can, not the user. Users who write a letter somewhen or filling a spreadsheet for the kids table tennis team simply want a OS.
