I found an excellent for me, half measure. Look up Windows X-Lite, they have a website. They offer 10 and 11 absolutely stripped of all the M$ bullshit and annoyances. Even windows defender can be removed.
Legit reminds me of a fresh XP install. Back to installing the vc++ and net desktop runtimes again, even.
I only don't ditch windows because I love playing VR and occasionally Valorant. And Wayland isn't quite where I'd like it to be feature wise for things like VRR and HDR.
I wish Riot would make it so you can play Valorant on Linux, I'd switch off windows permanently right away.
Just quit that shit and don't look back. No vidya is worth dedicating your life to.
I play consistently with a group of friends, and I like the game. I don't think using Windows counts as dedicating my life to it.
