Because the EU at least remotely cares about it's citizens.
Now let's try the USA! How much does the USA cares about it's citizens? Not all at the same time, please!

Linux Gives Every User More Control: Uninstall Anything, and Say Goodbye to Microsoft
Am i missing something? If i had edge, store and bing forced down my throat my win11 install wouldve been long gone, but imo thst stuff was already removable before?
From what I've gathered here and elsewhere they never really went full throttle on all that stuff for most of us here in the EU.
Now don't get me wrong, W11 is utter shite, and I had to essentially build a new computer from scratch to even get it running properly, but I still haven't seen any ads or any other bullshit like that.
This is exactly why my old computer is merrily running Mint, and it likes it.
Edit: If it wasn't for the fact that I happen to primarily use Cinema 4D for work I wouldn't even have bothered, probably. Relearning 20+ years of software flow for the other options seemed silly at the time, but I would've reconsidered had I known what a mess W11 would become for me and in general.

IMHO modern personal computing is as bullshit as XV century tournament armor.
Something should be done.
