It's not just about the inconvenience though. Windows is paid. It's at least 100 bucks. It's not even "free but you are the product" like Google drive or whatever. Yet it still abuses you, controls you and exploits you, and you have to do tons of workarounds for it to not get in your way. Most of them are always temporary, as a new update reenables everything again or directly circumvents the workaround you used.
If you are locked into the ecosystem, then I do agree that it's annoying that people think moving to Linux is seamless. It wasn't for me, it even cost me money since I had to buy an AMD gpu for things to work well + another GPU to passthrough to a windows VM and still use Clip Studio. But if someone only uses their computer for things that can be done seamlessly on Linux, and they genuinely dislike and are against all the bullshit Windows always does, it's worth it to tell them there is a viable alternative, and what they heard about "you have to use the command line for everything meaningful!" or "everything breaks all the time!" hasn't been true for years.
I guess I found the secret button to disable it, then. Because I haven't had a single ad or bloatware style notification in a long time on my desktop. I'm sorry I just really think it's overblown and basically a meme at this point.
I've had a lot of success with Nobara, it's why I put it on my old recycle pile laptop from my last job. Not only does it just work from the get go but it has a lot of built in functionality for things like discord and game launches that I'd prefer not to spend hours messing around with on a Debian or Arch install.
