get a Mac.
I would have said the same 5 years ago but now macOS is quite bad itself. If you follow their lead (click blue) you'll end up setting up an iCloud account, syncing your life to them, enabling Apple Intelligence, telemetry, and a load of other shit. Then you get to the desktop and your dock has 30 icons in it already, some of which require subscription, and it's too full to understand what each one is. And don't get m…
No Cortana, no Copilot, no Windows Apps. Just pure unadulterated Windows, with extended support until 2032 (if you install the IOT version)

I'm perfectly capable of setting up macOS to my liking, but I think it's important to consider all users. The abuse of default settings is quite rampant.
A nice tip: make sure to install the LTSC version of Windows 10, which is the most perfect setup you'll ever have (well, other than installing Linux) No Cortana, no Copilot, no Windows Apps. Just pure unadulterated Windows, with extended support until 2032 (if you install the IOT version)

Also my 89 yr old mum has switched to mac and not had that particular issue. Some other issues like MS Outlook not importing her 40GB email file which had built up over a couple of decades on Windows, but not ads etc.
