Windows: You bought a laptop? I guess you like advertising on your desktop lol MacOS: I am the finder and you must do things my way Linux: spiderman-pointing.gif I was a Windows fan for years (going back to the 1990s) but switched over MacOS a few years and much prefer it, despite the occasional annoyances. I have also been using Linux since the very first release, but I like a GUI and the desktop experience on Linux has always felt rather fragmented and incoherent.

The "advertising on windows" thing must be localized. I'm not in the US, I run windows 11, and I've never seen an ad. Then again I've also turned off telemetry, and I run it fine despite not having a Microsoft account. Both of which are often listed as "requirements" by folks here. So I'm guessing some windows behaviour is localized.

For the Windows side of things, AtlasOS (it's an OSS project) works impressively well: https://atlasos.net https://atlasos.net No advertising when using that. :) --- That being said, I'm a Linux user (KDE generally) and was only mucking around with Windows/AtlasOS in VMs recently to try out virtual gpu stuff in Proxmox.
