I’ve never seen an ad on Windows 10 or 11. Been using 11 for over a year at this point. The start menu just has my pinned apps and recent files.

I mean, go to any tech related post and every thread quickly becomes about Linux regardless of what it was about.

We just need the rest of the Linux gang to experience the glory of pacman+AUR, it’s not our fault they don’t listen.
