"Just don't use windows" is not a solution. Ameliorated works, whether you believe in security whataboutism or not.

It's not whataboutism. Windows has a ton features spanning decades and privacy was never a priority given their paying customers' priority. Linux on the other hand was made by individuals and allows a lot more control and input from users. If privacy is your priority then Linux wind the race. If managable corporate workstation is your priority then windows wins the race.

And these scripts allow me to mold Windows into something more usable, no need to jump ship.
