I just started using W11 after reading up on how to install it without all the bloat and spyware, and how to configure it to my liking

25 years in and I still don’t see a reason to switch to Linux

Because windows is annoying as hell to use and you get literally nothing from the spyware, ads, and intentional dark-patterns.

Windows is constantly malicious, even if you do your best to make it not so, it’s designed to be as malicious as possible while still being tolerable.

Linux has never done something bad to me that was outright malicious. that alone makes a huge difference for me.

linux is slowly getting better, windows is rapidly getting worse.

You can’t install Windows 11 without bloat and spyware, all you can do is minimise it and much of it cannot be disabled or removed. Linux can have 0 bloat and spy ware.

That is the difference.

You can get pretty close and go far by Ameliorating your Windows install.

Meh, it’ll take them at least an hour to get their keyboard drivers working 😂

I know you think this is funny but I haven’t dealt with a driver issue in linux since I switched to it. However in windows I’ve sunk hundreds of hours of my life into trying to get a driver working. So that comment is unintentionally funny lol

Are you actually bragging about refusing to learn anything? You sound like someone I knew who bragged about never having read a book in her life. Sad energy.
