I admit you need to uninstall a bunch of crap when you first install Windows 10. That sure sucks but its not a Windows thing. You get default apps on every platform and the more of an "advanced" user you are the more likely you will need to replace them. For a majority of people these apps are however what they will use so kinda makes sense to have them preinstalled. Even for games, people would find it weird if no game was present. Every windows they can remember had games preinstalled.
Anyway simply remove what you don't need including OneDrive and you will not get ads or notification. Lock screen and stat menu can be configured to not show tips or recommended apps. The store itself can even be de-installed (if you don't need it). Obviously everything is opt-out but that has been the case since ever.
PS: There are powershell scripts to automate cleanup if you have to do this regularly its just a github search away.

- noxer 6y agoIt certainly is if you can find any platform that comes with Debian. You may pick your distro and even pick predefined software collections you want to have installed or simply install only the core. But really thats not the point. You can build your personal windows 10 image an replace the default apps too.
- holri 6y agoYou can not compare the debian software repository with a windows 10 image. I do not need to buy new hardware often because Debian runs nice even on very old hardware. I type this on a computer 14 years old, that just got apt-get dist-upgrade since then. You can not do that with Windows.
- noxer 6y agoYou completely an intentionally missing the point or my post. And on top of that your "Facts" are simply wrong -There are software repository for windows wit GUI or CLI -I have a T60 it's about 14 years old it runs the last version of Windows 10 just fine. -There is no special hardware necessarily at all. Some super old CPUs may lack NX, PAE or SSE2 and thus would not run anything after Win7. but that's irrelevant machines with such old CPUs can not even render a modern website in a useful time no matter what OS is running underneath.
