If you need to go out of your way to periodically turn off half the OS in order for it to be good then it's not a good OS.
Leaving aside the fact you can't turn everything off without either knowing exactly what you're doing (at which point begs the question why you're doing it rather tjan the better option) or being willing to blindly follow some tutorial at the risk of bricking your machine, disabling all the bullshit windows does is way more time consuming than installing Linux for no real benefit.
For my machines, i would be forced to use windows if the smart people didnt make proton and wine. Otherwise Ms puts you in a bind where you put up with it or lose access to software. EXEs hold any software hostage thats not also compiled for other platforms.
