I installed Windows 11 with a local account, disabled trash like OneDrive and Copilot and haven't had any problems with them coming back.

Any market share that Linux can claw away from Microslop is always a good thing.

    Wait for the big yearly update, that's when uninstalled things crawl back. 25H2 was released in 2025 September, but it didn't install automatically on some hardware so you maybe still on 24H2. If you are still on 24H2 expect annoying notifications about buying a new computer around 2026 September, as that's the EOL of that update. You can force these updates even if your hardware is unsupported with with FlyOOBE
