From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Point 4 is only true if you buy a pre built system. If you install the OS yourself there is very little pre installed.
I suppose it depends on your definition of "very little" but I would say that for most Linux users, "Windows 11 can have cluttered start menus with unwanted icons" is definitely accurate.
I did a fresh install of Windows 11 Home the other day and it had at least 10 apps that I manually removed right off the bat. Stuff like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, One Note, Xbox Live and a few freebie games were sitting front and center in the start menu, even though I had not agreed to have any of them installed.
Majority of people are buying prebuilt systems or laptops though.
What you're seeing in the Video is pretty much what the start menu will look like after a clean install of Windows 11, minus Audacity and Chrome.
