Using W11 today, that's my first thought too...It's just ad after ad for Microsoft services. You will fucking install O365 or Microsoft will kill a kitten.

Must buy OneDrive or X doesn't work anymore

Need to buy a subscription for fcking MS Solitaire or you get inundated with ads

Weyland's taking forever, though.

Wayland's been pretty nice the 3-4 years I've been using sway

Can't you install Windows 7 games package ? I did it with win 10 and I got all the solitaire, free cell, minesweeper, etc... without ads

It is not an official Microsoft package but you can find it easily on Internet.

I don't see any of this. It's probably because I ran https://christitus.com/windows-tool/ right after install.

I think it disables all the annoying parts of windows and you just get left with a stable OS.
