It’s easier to disable all the garbage than remove the garbage?

    I can’t fathom why anyone would prefer the former over the latter

    No one prefers it. No one uses Windows because they enjoy the setup process. However:

    1. The setup process in Windows is nothing but clicking buttons in a GUI. The same cannot be said for most Linux distributions. At minimum they require a software update to even function properly, and there’s no unified way to do this. Good fucking luck looking it up and not finding a bunch of terminal commands that no one even sees fit to explain how to use. And even if they did they probably wouldn’t work on your distro. The last one I used had 2 different software updaters and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why. And it badgered me with notifications every 5 seconds that there was a new one.
    2. The setup process is not the problem. I don’t know why you’re still pretending to not understand why it’s difficult to use.

    As for software: WinBoat is a very easy (almost) one-click installable piece of software

    LOOOOLOLOL it is absolutely not. There’s even like 5 steps in the guided installer and each of them is incredibly convoluted. You’re still lying.
