i was that person. i had custom windows isos to remove the bloatware and tweak it to my liking.
its frustrating as fuck at first because linux does some things completely differently, it a way that does look weird as hell for power-windows people. i banged my head at it for a couple of years before i had that level of comfort again.
but once you get the hang of it oh boy. it's a blast and you ask yourself why you didn't do this sooner. it truly changed computers for me and renewed my love for them, who would have thought computers can be so awesome when they aren't enshittified.
