Lol, at that point I would just run Windows...

What is the threshold where you are basically running Windows, and you have Linux installed just for some internet vanity?

Play games? Run Windows games with Wine/Proton Coding? VSCode App? This thing...

But at least I don't own Windows, sheej!

I don't think it's about internet vanity, more about not constantly having advertisements or weird services / AI features pushed into your desktop environment.

I'd love to just run windows if there was a version that didn't have this.

Why not just disable them?

Because they constantly get re-enabled, or new ones get added, and I don't want to have to fight my OS this hard.
