I'm only comparing commercial os's here, there are linux's that have app stores that bother you and popups about updates and scheduled reboots and icons in your start/dock/panel that you didn't ask for that come with browsers that populate favorites for you automatically and update themselves as well as reset settings between updates so if you turn off the sponsored crap it often turns back on.. You can remove all the crap and make it what you want.

I'm only aware of that happening at the browser layer, not the OS layer? Indeed much of why I like Linux distros is that when I change a setting it stays changed. Actually, what "sponsored crap" is even coming from the OS vendor in a Linux distro?

  I work for RedHat, so I know Red Hat - let's keep drilling this down to 'Consumer space' instead of apples and oranges mmkay? At red hat our bread and butter is telemetry, managed services and CVE scanning, and remote patching and updates and security fixed btw... the same shit Microsoft is doing for consumers. (And Google and Apple..)
