From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux purists lmao, keep arguing with a strawman. Downloading untrusted ISOs is not a solution to bloat ware, and if those powershell commands really worked like you purport, people wouldn't be complaining.

You can't will yourself into being right, just because you want there to be a magic solution that makes Windows not bloated shit doesn't mean it exists.
