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.
I recently watched my dad install windows 11 (his sixth or so time). It took him over an hour of typing commands into the terminal and navigating through 50 different menus to install windows and disable all the shit that comes with it, all on supported hardware. I don't understand how people justify this when linux takes 10 minutes to install and doesn't come filled with ads and telemetry.
It's a familiarity problem, those exact same people would turn around and after doing that insane install process and tell you that Windows Works without issues or a bunch of manual tweaking on like your stupid Linux. They don't see it as a problem or tweaking just because they are so used to it whereas they would have to relearn that for Linux
