Go try disabling the telemetry on Windows 10 after each update. On Linux, you can compile stuff from source anywhere. Or even use pkgsrc on top of any distro.
A regular user wouldn’t even understand the things you just said let alone how to do them.
Disabling telemetry also seems like a wildly different problem that I’m not even sure regular users would care about.
I always giggle when someone says "regular" users use a GNU/Linux-Distro ;)
