I only use Windows for gaming, or old .NET Framework projects. But man Windows 10 is SOOOOOOO much more visually appealing than any other version of windows to date. And better visually than most linux distros.

And I really don't know what this 'ads everywhere' crap people keep talking about.

It's hard to miss the fact that Windows 10 pre-installs Candy Crush and your start menu looks like this:

Meanwhile my android phone comes with youtube preinstalled, mandatory, and it tries to upsell me on YT premium multiple times a day.

Or premium photo service.

Oh and my phone randomly shows me ads, from Google, for their photo printing service.

Maps now has ads.

I'll remove the link to candy crush and not let it bother me, but I can't stop the YT premium ads.

Ads are not present on Windows Pro IIRC. Something like that. Just a simple price discrimination.
