I actually did switch my gaming PC to Linux because I decided it was going to be less effort than trying to force Windows to obey.

It was the way Microsoft was progressively disabling workarounds that was the final straw. As soon as a way to disable telemetry or something became widespread, it wouldn't work any more with the next update and you needed to find new methods.

Linux just does as it's fucking told.
