I'm going through the "Windows 11 on a new machine" setup. Coming from a Mac, this is such a soul-crushing experience. I have no idea why people say they "prefer Windows".
Apart from the crapware that comes preinstalled (McAfee? Seriously?), I feel like I own nothing on the machine. I am being treated like ad-meat, and deceptive prompts try to trick me into agreeing to my data being used and processed for ad targeting. Dark patterns everywhere.
