While using Windows 11 for my gaming PC (my only windows device) I used a debloat script [1] to keep it free of all the garbage it came with. I eventually moved to EndeavorOS and never looked back.

They keep putting new stuff in as well!

Most recently, ads on your lock screen which aren't obvious how to disable.

And, even when you do find out how to disable them, they randomly re-enable them after updates or reboots just so you stay miserable.
Ah yes, the Facebook dark pattern. "Oops we reset it to defaults! Again! So sorry!"

Except nobody apologizes anymore; we've gotten used to it.
