gollark: Hey, I *said* (GNU[+/])Linux, isn't that good enough for you, Stallman?!
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Also, though this is more personal preference, (GNU[+/])Linux (distributions) has (have):- a package manager useful for general use (the windows store is not really this)- a usable shell (yes, I'm aware you can use WSL, but it's not very integrated with everything else)- lower resource use- a nicer UI (well, the option for one; AFAIK Windows does not allow as much customization)
gollark: I've seen Candy Crush randomly installed on a Windows machine as well as random unwanted gaming-related services, there's advertising for OneDrive in the file explorer IIRC, control over updates is pretty limited though I guess you can do a bit, and by "spying" I don't mean anything targeted but just that it reports quite a lot back to Microsoft.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> So telemetry/spying, in-OS advertising, uncontrollable updates, random useless programs being installed, and that sort of thing don't happen to you?
