Yes, in the same way that you don’t typically need to tinker with Linux

In the end they’re not so different, except Windows intentionally does anti-consumer things that make people want to tinker.

“Windows doesn’t require any tinkering, just run this to make a local account, decline 100 requests to use OneDrive and Office 365, get these debloaters, uninstall all these things, and make sure you always tell Windows to not restart your computer while you’re using it every time it updates. And when it does update, you’ll need to run the debloaters again.”
