This. If you're used to working with windows, 11 is the usual song and dance of disabling a bunch of telemetry shit and making sure windows update only runs when prompted.
I don't even bother to do the latter on my windows machine since it's my gaming rig and that doesn't stay on unless I game (my server runs Debian), so there's plenty of chances for it to install updates when rebooting.
Sure, sometimes it adds some half baked garbage "feature" like the weather widget and you gotta kill it, but that's hardly an issue.
Thank you. I think it's silly the amount of work it takes to initially learn how to properly debloat, install, and configure Windows nicely but once you've learned it it's not tough to do. It's only time consuming at worst, even with changes to an entirely new version. Even with Linux Distros there's a certain amount of time you need to set aside to set up stuff how you want.
