Windows 10 is as bad as windows 11. The problems with windows run so deep in the Microsoft design philosophy that they infect everything Microsoft touches.
I'd say 10 doesn't literally take screenshots of your actions every second but would anyone be surprised if it did?
100% true
Inb4 linux is better but ignoring that things like “trusted” repo upgrades could come with a side order of compromised for months, including spyware
Turns out, not everything is black and white

Windows 7 😆
I do have a Win7 machine still running, it's a trooper. Doesn't need anything newer for what it does.
Extended support for security upgrades for Windows 7 ended on Jan. 10, 2023. So "what it does" should probably not include any connectivity to a public network.

Listen. I do not want fucking ads in the start menu. I have no idea how to code and I can't use the command terminal to save my life but I swear to god I'm going to switch to Linux before I touch Windows 11 with a 10-foot pole
Same
Many people suggest popOS for a new linux user which is based on ubuntu which in turn is based on debian. I never tried popOS but i found ubuntu hard to get packages or find help with when i was first learning.
I would recomend endeavourOS which is based on arch. In arch, its very easy to get packages and and find help since you can use the aur and the arch wiki . But it might require using the terminal a bit more than PopOS. Dont let that intimidate you however, the terminal is actually not hard to learn and many tools guide you through using it.
Both are better than windows and i would recomend you try them both on your machine. Just download the live image ISOs to a usb that has ventoy installed. Throw some other distros on there too like nobara just to round out your testing.
Then you can always install it on an old computer (even one that windows dosent work well on) or a spare hdd/ssd while testing until you are ready to leave windows for good.

Windows Pro doesn't have these issues, only Home. Home doesn't have group policy, so lots of this can't be managed easily. Pro has GP, which is where all this stuff gets controlled by Enterprise organizations.
Even better, LTSC has even less nonsense and only gets security updates (no feature updates, so nothing odd happening).
Get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.
Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.
And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts.
This all applies to Win11 too, if you just have to use it.
Come on, man. Let them come to us. Linux needs more adoption.
Can you get security updates more often than 2x a year doing this method?

No, clearly switching to an entirely different operating system is the easier option.
Worked for me, but until there’s a consensus on how to onboard the layman on Linux, we need to stop bitching that the layman doesn’t use Linux.

Didn't Windows 10 also have ads in the start menu from pretty much the start, like Candy Crush and such? Or maybe I just used a bloated OS image, wouldn't be beyond me.

Good thing you don't need to know to code or use a terminal to use linux. Just install popOS! And you're good to go

My gaming PC is sticking with 10 for the foreseeable future, it's my only windows machine and that's because it's a beatsaber and fusion360 machine and I don't want to be bothered with fixing something when I want to get a workout session in or need to urgently design a part.
P.S. if anyone knows how to get fusion working in wine I'm all ears
I havent tried it, and i dont normally recomend snaps but fusion360 is in the snap store.

Also searching arch fusion360 (you can replace arch with another distro) gives a few hits that makes me think its possible like this one.

Neat! I will be giving that a go! Having to relearn cad after switching to linux really slowed the use of my 3d printer :(

I'll take my Arch, please and thank you
Starting to think 8.1 might be the most viable windows version...
I actually really liked it when I used it. It was kind of the windows 7 to eights vista.
Happily on Linux now, tho.
*downgrade
Windows 10 won't take screenshots of everything I do on my computer, sooooooooooo
Neither will Windows 11 when I turn that feature off.
Don't try to bring reason to an anti-Microsoft circlejerk
Until it is smuggled back in by an inconspicuous monthly security update!
But it does scan everything you put on your computer and sends it to microsoft
Oh its worse than just screenshots. They’re screenshotting, then they ocr the screenshot and store any text in a highly compressed searchable database.
