If you are not a gamer or don't care about invasive/live widgets, etc. and just want a more simplistic desktop interface then you should consider running Server 2016 as your desktop OS. You can turn off the telemetry.

Not sure what you mean about "not a gamer". After my problems installing the drivers (which turned out to be me downloading the wrong thing) i'm using server 2016 as my daily driver, with an rx480 and getting 60fps ultra on overwatch. Server 2016 is fine for dx11/12 and will be great for any games. Would highly recommend (i did the same with server 2012 for years, ran several games with no issues whatsoever).
