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.

Bro hasn't used windows 11 recently i see.

I literally get daily ads from the Microsoft store. I HAVE TOAST MESSAGES DISABLED

Use it daily and don't have any ads. Idk what is different with my setup

I too don't have any ads whatsoever.

I have modified a lot of settings too many to remember, but I also realized recently I am using an ancient windows education license nit the standard one. I bet that makes a big difference.
