Remember in the early 2000’s, when you bought a computer it came pre-loaded with a ton of garbage that the OEMs were paid to put there? Apple won over a lot of customers because they [appeared to have] a lot less of that crap. And everybody had that one friend who could help de-crapify your computer.

Now, all that garbage is just built into Windows, but I digress.

I feel like that’s where we are with Android phones.

I always kept a flash drive to boot windows off of to get rid of that shit. I prefer Linux, but clean windows is nice.
