I thought that the sub OP was complaining about pro-Linux memes and just posts complaining/making fun of Windows. Also, no, it's not just an EU thing. Windows 10 displays ads in start menu, 11 is a little bit better when it comes to taskbar, but they're advertising in settings and other places. Also, a lot of telemetry and bloatware. Requiring to login, to create an account is a deal braker for me too. It's not a bad OS, but not good either. It has a good software support, so you don't need to use stuff like Wine or Proton, to run some apps/games(and some apps don't work even with Wine, because of the DRMs), so I still have a VM inside my Artix with Windows(debloated, tho).
