Windows 10 is also a privacy nightmare and also has Edge, One drive and ads.
Windows 11 has some nice features and you can use Group Policy to clean it up a bit.
This is very true. There is a very weird endorsement from the Linux community of Windows 10 I do not align with at all. It's basically the exact same thing.
Especially since a lot of the less palatable features have been patched in backwards fairly dilligently. I use both routinely and there is little functional difference.
