   Yawn. I have zero nags from Windows 11.

   It's not that complicated. Yeah you have to spend an hour or two after install looking up some guides, tweak some registry keys & turn off a bunch of default Settings.

   Then you have practically zero nags.

   Also no need to update 600+ MB every friggin day like on Ubuntu...

   The Windows dunking is getting old.

      And you see no problem with that?

            This is BULL. Windows 11 has never installed anything for me I didn't want.

            Many of these options are even surfaced by Microsoft directly in the Settings.

            For example, these steps are pretty easy to follow, half of these are surfaced directly in Settings:
