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.
Five years ago I installed Windows 10 direct from Microsoft's online store onto my Ubuntu laptop so I could play some Windows-only games.
It was fine for a while, but after some updates the Start menu began shoving ads (I believe Candy Crush was a big one) into my shortcut panels.
It's true that I could go deleting them one-by-one, and probably hunt down settings to disable them, but I find it repulsive that I paid for an operating system only to be personally made into a product for Microsoft on top of that. I've decided I'm never going to spend another dollar on such predatory behavior, even if it means I'm throwing away a significant portion of my video game library.
Good news is proton fucking rules these days
Just stick to a rolling release distro and you're good to go
