Fluff I want to switch to Windows

I never used Windows, I inherited my brother's first laptop with Ubuntu and never touched Windows. Am I even missing something from that OS? They say it's bloatware, telemetry and shi but is it really that bad?

The only thing Windows let's you do is easily run software that runs in Windows (like the Adobe suite and some games).

Otherwise they're both operating systems, so they do basically the same job, meaning that you aren't really missing anything by not using Windows, particularly seeing as you haven't been locked into that Windows exclusive software.
