All those supposed "popups" you can disable. "Bloatware" you can uninstall and are added by the laptop manufacturer not Microsoft, and "advertisements" only happen once on a fresh install.
Almost like those supposedly tech savvy people don't know what a setting is.
It is fine if you prefer Linux over Windows, but don't go about just straight up lying about it.
They don't advertise OneDrive?
