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.
Even if you know windows and all those settings, windows pushed updates that add popups and bloatware.
So you don't have a choice even if you do disable it uninstall things
Candy crash in start menu along with a thousand other ads, inabiltiy to delete internet explorer and cortana until recently, asking to buy microsoft365 after every update, constant telemetey and tracking with no option to opt out completely, and so on.
