Problem as has been explained to you is jumped you into both Windows & Linux with little experience, it didn't work out how you expected and even when members offered help you remained hostile due to your fixed perceptions.
Well said and I am in full agreement.. It's easier to blame and bash the system or the OS for doing exactly what it's told to do than to take personal accountability for the inexperience that caused said result..
My own W10 system has pretty much came with zero bloat, shortcuts to the MS store were easily removed, nor does it advertise or promote 3rd party applications. What your talking about is insignificant as can be removed or ignored, exactly the same a Garage Band or Chess on the Mac.
Again agree... My X1 Carbon came with zero bloat! It had a few live tile placeholders to the app store that I removed in like 11 seconds flat...
I spent about 15 minutes total getting it all setup to my liking. No bloat, Cortana off (personal preference) and other items I didn't want removed. Not a singe blue screen nor issue since..
