The entire point of an operating system is to allow your computer to run programs. Blaming users for breaking it by having installed programs, literally THE thing operating systems were invented to do, just isn’t acceptable.
If you pirated the right software you used to be able to backup and restore your windows programs between installs but I doubt that’s a thing that works anymore. It’s easier to just use Linux and avoid having issues as frequently.
And installing windows isn’t a hassle? LOL, good one. I watched someone take all day just to get windows 11 to recognize a m2 ssd once on a pretty normal run of the mill Gigabyte motherboard. During that time, an installation of arch was performed just to help troubleshoot and it worked right away.

No one said they are breaking it, just that OS’s get cluttered with directories and files which occasionally could use removal for organization’s sake either via sifting through your entire file tree or just keeping a good backup image available to fresh install from when you need to.

Fascinating, yet I’ve constructed and imaged from scratch seven Windows machines in the past three years for various friends and purposes without a single issue. Plug it in, hit f12, boot from USB, GUI loads up, select drive and preferences, wait, profit.
The only issue I ever had was one of the motherboards being preset in legacy mode after a refurb cause I bought it on eBay, I had to allow UEFI boot and then repeat above.
I’m starting to think you guys just refuse to learn anything about windows and then complain when your Linux knowledge doesn’t suffice, or you’re just making shit up about how bad it is. Who knows, either way I’ve never run into anything like that on my builds. Don’t get me wrong, Linux is seamless depending on distro but Windows is literally baby’s first OS level of difficult on install and I hear so much crying on here about how it’s this massive dumpster fire and I literally cannot conceive of how you’re even having issues let alone thinking it’s harder than setting up most Linux machines.
