When you install Windows 11 it suggests OneDrive, Office 365, and Gamepass. After it is installed it will push news articles and advertisements in your start bar. If you use Edge it will also land on a default web page used to advertise products, services, and media.
I think there are some distros of Linux like Ubuntu that does some of these things, but nowhere near what Windows does now.
A lot of modern proprietary interfaces have started spamming people with ads about “the latest stuff” in the notification menu, the app launcher menu, and a few other places.
That sounds like quite a weird reason to prefer Windows, you can just follow an RSS feed with the “latest stuff” and not have it forced down your throat.
I don’t think people prefer it, I think they’re culture shocked when the algorithms stop telling them what to think. It’s an uncanny feeling at first and can be uncomfortable for some.
What does this mean? Genuinely Curious.
