Linux is not getting better in those respects, either. DE's are crazy bloated. For everyone bitching about control panels, tell me how is it done in Linux? In the WM control panel or the DE control panel? Or some obscure .conf file you must edit by hand? Your guess is as good as mine and it's beyond disorganized. If I want to change a font it's a game of three card monte.
Linux desktop environments remind me what TempleOS would look like if it was designed by committee.
Bloat is what you call any feature you're not actively using.
Only difference is on Windows nobody wants those "features".
Try a distro like Fedora. I mostly use Arch, but I’ve found Fedora to be an excellent out of the box experience.
There's a difference between features you don't use and pre-installed Minecraft and ads.
