I've just started running windows 11 on a transformer tablet I couldn't get Linux to fully support. I was dreading it and expected to find it so annoying that I would sell the device since all I hear is messaging like this, but I've actually been really pleasantly surprised.

I ran a powershell script I found to de-bloat it and remove ai features and telemetry, then installed chocolatey and WSL and had all my usual apps and my Nix managed dev env going inside and hour. I don't see what all these AI features are that people are complaining about, and I don't see ads or anything.

Yeah, I prefer Linux and am always weary of Microsofts tactics in open source, but what specifically makes Windows so incredibly awful?
