> No real choice, unfortunately. Oh, I'm sure some clueless Linux Desktop evangelist will try to claim otherwise, but the reality is that Windows and Office run the business world.

Also mind that "professional" editions of windows contain less of the crapware than Home or similar editions...

Note however that "Windows 10 Pro" is not one of the reduced-crapware editions.

Pro has slightly more knobs exposed than Home letting you adjust behavior but it’s nothing like the corporate version of Windows, no. I use tron script regularly to cut out what I can and it does help. Reading online the true believers load LTSB or LTSC licenses instead although they give up latest-gen CPU support by doing so.
